Problems 1, 2, and 3 were
solved with rakes, shovels and brooms.
At the end, there was some foolishness with a gasoline
powered leaf
blower that was used to blow a few leaves back and forth
until they
were finally sent off down the street to ruin someone
else's day, but
as far as the lone clean-up worker was concerned, out of
sight, out
of mind. May I remind the DPW that a leaf blower can also
be used
as a leaf vacuum and the job would have been done more
efficiently
and with less gasoline wasted by sucking up the few final
leaves and
dumping out the bag into one of the many trash cans of
leaves already
collected. But if the idea is to try to drag out the work
time into overtime
work pay...
Problem 4 - the open cellar window
- is a problem for the police,
or the current homeowner/bank to seal up.
The gutter opening in front was
finally cleaned correctly, not by an
overgrown sweeping machine, but by a little shoveling and
raking.
