The city should have its maintenance crews do follow ups and check on the status of this on a regular basis to prevent future failure. These steps have been a problem for some time and maybe the city’s own workers can repair them instead of hiring an outside firm if the original one won’t take the responsibility to fix what he should have done correctly in the first place. litle sparrowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504194539343627680.post-88644681617780106512009-02-26T06:15:00.000-08:002009-02-26T06:15:00.000-08:00Never underestimate the wisdom of a "sparrow" (smi...Never underestimate the wisdom of a "sparrow" (smile)...<br><br>That sounds pretty apropro (although I'm certainly a novice in this area) to me!<br><br>In fact, my father was an excellent stone mason - and I jokingly said to my husband that if they gave Dad a case of beer and a couple of grand (?)
