When the paving crew reached the end of the driveway tear down, it was time to remove the rusty old culvert.
.
.
How rusty was it you ask?
.
.
Rusty enough that it literally fell apart in their hands. Mind you, this was the same culvert the state deemed perfectly serviceable last year when a road improvement project skipped by our property with nary a glance.
.
.
In the middle of the removal process?
.
.
Someone had to go out and chat.
Please take note it wasn’t me.

Old rusted culvert out, new plastic culvert that should last for 50+ years in.
.
.
And since my husband was supervising?
.
.
He had them lay and cover the full 40 feet instead of the 25 originally planned as not to waste the extra length he’d paid for.
.
.
Naturally, this required more chatting.

River's world..... 
I’m married to a chatter too.

I believe I’ve spent half my married life waiting for him to stop talking to someone.

same here and it was half and half between chatting and reading the full article in the magazine in the store. *sigh*

Chatting is an essential part of construction. You’re lucky he didn’t invite them in for a beer.

He’s taken 3 of them into the man cave/Barn Mahal.
So far….

Haha. I actually meant to ask whether he’d ever done so on your last post, but figured, nah…there’s no way…

If he talks to someone on our property long enough it’s inevitable….

What you call chatting, we call “explaining”. Either they are “explaining” what they are doing for $20k, or he is “explaining” what he expects for $20k. Either that or they are discussing the MLB All-start game coming up. To guys, it is all the same thing, just not “chatting”.

It’s funny because women are always considered the chatty gender. But I’ve never met a woman who can talk more than my husband.

My wife is much chattier than I —
I’m just not a chatty kind of guy….
Except when it comes to certain sports,
Which leave her silent and out of sorts.

Chatty? What’s chatty? Chat is unimportant, inconsequential. Like me on your earlier post today. I have conversations, and discussions. Important chatter!

The state repaired and replaced a bunch of them up and down our road last summer … but not ours. They said it was fine.

You should send the photos to the state . . . along with a bill.

Always with the chatting. They might not know how to do it properly…someone has to give direction. 😜
I think I need a tetanus shot just looking at the old culvert.

He prefers to think of it as quality control…
