FIOS installation here and the neighborhood was a real cluster-**** with
all underground services. I could tell stories and show pictures to the
ng about all the comedy it was.

Anytime I hear about something like that I think of Hawaii's capital
building.

Wife and I lived there for decades and, for a while, she had to be downtown
at a building across from the construction site. She didn't drive at the
time so I took her and waited in the car while she did her bit of business.
While waiting, I watched the construction guys.

One in partiular. He and his backhoe were busy moving a large pile of dirt
from one place to another. When moved, he would move it back again to where
it was originally. He did this day after day, week after week, month after
month. Why in the world would he do this? Only thing I can think of is
because the contract was time + materials.
