It's my fault, I guess. I hired him. But I didn't know he'd insist on using a riding mower to mow my lawns. They, my lawns, are not big enough for a riding mower, and there are too many trees and too many sprinkler heads. But last Wednesday evening I hear this very loud noise and look out to see him riding around my back lawn on his mower.
I had wanted to show him where all the sprinklers are before he mowed. Did not get the chance. I think it would not have mattered, because that mower is huge.
Thursday I checked out the sprinklers. SURE ENOUGH. He didn't just hit it. He yanked it out of the ground, severed it from the pipe. Water shoots high up into the air, and so on and so forth.
I am not happy.
I called him Thursday, that's yesterday, and left a message about the sprinkler, said I hated to tell him--which is true--but he mowed the heck out of one of my sprinklers, and I would like to talk to him but in the meantime I assumed he would replace it.
Guess what. I haven't heard back from him. I'll let you know when I do.
Addendum: It is now Friday mid morning. I called him again, and he came. He will replace it, fix it, make it right. Yippee. I just hope he knows how.
P.S. Friday afternoon. It's fixed.
