ANATOMY OF A HOLE

Doesn't anything ever run smoothly anymore?

Today, I had people here to replace and repair a broken section of garden fence. They removed an existing, damaged concrete post and found that the hole just filled with water.

They reckoned that there is a broken drain which is leaking sewage into the earth! And judging by the smell, I think they're right!

Anyway, there's a lot more to my tale of woe - but it would be much too convoluted to go into here. Needless to say my little job looks like turning into something much bigger.

Wish me luck!
