Meeting the neighbours

Well council came back with a request that we show that an attempt was made to run the sewer down stream through the neighbours yard rather than pump it back up to the street towards the front of the house. Luckily it is mostly a formality as most people do not want you to dig up their yards and disrupt them.

So our builder drafted a letter of refusal for them to sign and asked that we get their signature. So hubby went over and explained to them what the council was asking. It turned out that they were quite lovely and said they wouldn't mind us doing this if we returned the state of their house back to what it was! Hubby quickly explained it was just a formality and that we wanted them to refuse which they obligingly did. How accomodating!

So it was back to the builder with the signed letter and back to council.
