“I
thank God, that if I am gifted with little
of the spirit which is able to raise mortals
to the skies, I have yet none, as I trust,
of that other spirit which would drag angels
down.”

. . . But not in my Backyard
Thursday,
5 August 2004 -My wife called and said I
had to come experience the amount of vibration that
was occurring in our home to believe it. I thought
she was kidding me until at lunch I found out how
true she was speaking. Everything in the house that
could shake was shaking. The crew in our backyard
was using all their grading equipment immediately
behind our house to pack down the dirt and was oblivious
of the effect it might be causing just next door.
I called the mayor's secretary just to let her
hear the commotion of shaking windows and rattling
doors and wishing she could feel the vibration
come through the house to the other side. Even
before I got out of my truck upon pulling into
the driveway you could feel the vibration. Is this
acceptable and responsible behavior of the contractor,
developer and even the city leaders?
Even
the Newspaper Agrees I
thought it quite ironic that today's headline
in the Cullman
Times newspaper, Dirt
moving for movies: Ground broken for new theater,
Terri Brunck started out with the sentence,
"With heavy machinery rumbling in
the background, Drinkard Development . . . ".
Thank you Terri for seeing, and feeling, the
adverse effects of what we've been experiencing
since July 20th. Unannounced at that.
Thank
goodness for the home inspection that was done
prior to all this commotion. I will have
another done after the dust settles to see what
damage was done. Are there any lawyers (outside
Cullman) interested in chewing on this?
