A crappy day at work...

[DJM PRODUCTIONS]

Well, yesterday was fun. I woke up from some huge bang I heard that shook my house so bad I thought there was an earthquake. Stumbling downstairs and looking out my kitchen window I noticed that there is a dumptruck sinking in my barkyard. Since nothing unusual seemd to be happening (I was still too asleep to realise what the hell had happened) I took a shower, brushed my teeth, looked out the window again...and realised holy crap...theres a dumptruck sinking in my back yard!

Apparently the guy digging my pool went a few feet too close to an old septic tank (no longer in use) and it couldnt hold a massive dumptruck filled to the top with gravel. The dumptruck fell down about 3-4 ft down into a big hole..it was awsome. I went outside to check out the damage while my mom is freaking out trying to call my dad at work.. I got some cool pictures

the owner of the buisness agreed to take care of it and that it was his fault, so there was no big problem there, but he asked me to print out a picture of the truck for him so he can prove to his wife "what a sh***y day he had at work today"
I printed him this one

^good stuff, right?

The truck had no real damage done to it, my drive way was pretty messed up, there was only one chunk from where the truck fell, but on the other side the axle left a huge divit, and we tried to stand the truck up on cinder blocks, which left big square impressions too. We were going to get the driveway re paved anyway since I'll be getting a car soon and we need another space The house and the yard look like crap due to all the construction going on lately, sorry about that

My dads car once fell of the back of a pick-up truck and landed on a trailer, the guy wouldbn't admitt that it was his fault though. It was also pretty funny.

Truely awsome. I wish stuff like that happened here, usually when stuff with construction goes wrong here, we have to make tons of phone calls, wait months, and have to put up with it not being as good as it should be.
Our bay window...got it in in January, had problems/broken parts/missing parts etc, and it just got settled at the end of June.
Had to have our driveway sealed twice(they messed up the first time and got tar all over the grass, looked very classy having a big spot of tar on the grass with boot-tar prints walking from the driveway/spot to the street).
And now our Sony XBR top of the line 53" bit the dust after 10 years(and ironically we watch TV in the family room now on a 1979 Sony 13". Works great)
It's like a never ending cycle of screw ups and stuff breaking. Luckily our 7 Mazdas are good, for now...we've had times when each one needed parts at the same time, but we do have 7 of em so we could fix the ones we have to drive and wait on the rest.

Anyway...I doubt that truck is not damaged. Look at it, the frame's bent.

I would wake and pay the man $10 to make me laugh.

Well, The truck may have some damage, but once it was pulled out of the hole by the big yellow backhoe, it looked fine and the guy has been driving it since. It was pretty crazy.
It's not like this stuff happens every day, I've never seen somthing like this before actiually, the reason there wasnt a whole bunch of phone calls, and town permits and stuff was because the guy was good and agreed not to tell the town. We would have had to wait months, get more permits, have the whole yard dug up again for more accurate plans and all that. We got the crapped sucked out of it, filled in the hole with spare dirt, and we will fix the driveway later..we didnt feel like putting up with the town any more because they gave us hell to get all the permits we needed in the first place. We knew there was an old septic there, he just parked a foot or 2 too close to it by accident. I think he's going to pay for the cost of getting part of the driveway re done, so it's all good
