I've been a bit frustrated lately, often not being able to get pictures into the posts. They would upload in the Choose Files box, but would not transfer to the post. I even posted a question on the Blogger Help forum (no replies). So, today I tried the new Blogger interface, and pictures load properly.
Hurray!
I am showing the pictures of the "Poor Old Storm Drain" to add to
THIS POST today...
The overview... Yes, believe it or not there is a 4x4x4 foot brick well and heavy metal grate under there!
At first, I tried to pull the debris off.
Most of it was too entangled. I wasn't surprised. The last time the drain was like this, the County needed power equipment!
But I stopped trying as soon as I saw that the brick structure was broken! You can see part of the brick wall is at an angle.
I also noticed that the metal grate on top is actually shoved OFF the brick structure! You can also see that the woody debris is packed so tightly that stones washed over the top and wouldn't fall through.
I called County Maintenance and reported the problem. They politely took all the information, but wouldn't suggest a repair date. I'll be happy to see them out here by next Spring. That's about how long it took the last time. However, I will say that they do good work when they come.
