I blame climate change.

Of course.

Lucky Brian doesn't live in Ohio, it would have been much worse.

Only would make sense if there was a car show crowd there.

I figures I'd post some updates to this. I haven't heard from the cops since the night following the incident so I don't have any updates on a trial or anything like that. The landlord apparently tried several times to get in touch with the officers in charge of the investigation to no avail as well, but decided to get the repairs done, then try to figure out who was paying for it later.

They came out and dug the footer about 2 weeks ago. They ended up having to wait out the weather forecast of all the damn rain to pour concrete, but finally was able to get that done. Also, being that they had to order a minimum of 5 yards of concrete they poured me some sidewalks while they were at it. Even put a small "patio" in the notch by my basement entrance.

A few days later block was laid

Came out a day or two later and laid the form and steel decking in preps for the concrete deck.

Yesterday they poured the concrete for the deck, and again due to minimum concrete order requirement added on and made a patio out back

They decided on having the jacks as the support posts. There are decorative covers you can get for them for your finished look. They still need to do stairs and railing to be finished, but at least I have a usable porch now. Only other things they have to do is get the garbage from the old porch, cribbing blocks, etc out of here and final "landscaping" of the top soil around the sidewalks and I should be back to "normal."

Brian, glad to hear it's being fixed right. Seems like you even got the better end of the deal with the excess concrete!

Well, I went to a hearing today for this incident. I didn't even have to speak/testify. Hell, I didn't even have to step foot in the court room, but the driver was given house arrest, probation, and has to pay restitution.
