My husband is not happy.
Not in any way, shape, or form.
.
.
Every time he goes outside he gravitates to the hideous Grand Canyon we now have at the edge of our property.
.
.
Talk about an eyesore. People are literally walking by with their mouths open. A few have even stopped in to ask… why?
.
.
What a mess. And aside from the fact they took a good two feet of our lawn? They couldn’t even be bothered to do it uniformly, and that rankles.
.
.
Let’s forget that it looks like a giant gaping maw…the whole purpose of the project was to stop the caving in and erosion.
.
.
See the stripes? That’s what happened after the first rain. All the seed and hay flowed to the bottom…
.
.
And we had intermittent washouts. Which is exactly what we had before.
It’s maddening.
.
.
In case you’re wondering, it’s three feet in that spot. In some places it’s three and a half. Won’t that be fun to mow…
.
.
Assuming we can ever get grass to grow there again.
Sigh…
😫

River's world..... 
I hate for you to have to forfeit property but maybe put a fence up and find someone to move your mailbox to the driveway. It’s really sad that they essentially fixed absolutely nothing.

The mailbox move is on the husband’s honey do list. These things can’t be rushed…

This is the way of life in Maine, just make sure not to fall in it this winter they may never find you.

Good advice. One pass with the snowplow and I’d be there until spring…

Only one in my rig did I make the mistake of walking too far from the edge of the roadway and in some spots further up they are 5′ deep to hold all the snow from a storm YIKES thought I would never crawl out 🙂

So, what are you plotting?
I’m already thinking of a type of fast growing ground cover to throw in there, but that would then encroach your lawn… Ugh. Such a stupid situation.

To be honest, I’m so disgusted I’m not plotting anything…

A moment of levity, I hope: That first picture, the very first one! It looks like he peed you a river! Now it’s your turn to cry one for him.

Ha!
It does, but he didn’t…
Not to say he wouldn’t though.

Fill it with rock and say that an asteroid hit. That is a terrible job, let alone a totally awful thing to do to a home owner. I understand your anger.

Does your local government give away free plants to ratepayers? It might be a good idea to plant a row of some sort of sedge. It could minimise erosion and block the eyesore when looking out from the house. The council will have to mow the ditch won’t they? The tossers.

They won’t mow it, that’s up to us. A lot of people do t bother and just let tall grass and weeds fill it, but my husband never could.

If you plant willow trees (or that type) it is a really good way to fight erosion.

The state just chopped down our neighbors 50 year old willows they planted for the same reason.
