Of course, we completely opted in for the kitchen remodel mess (although we hadn't anticipated that James-the-Builder would fall through the floor and on through the ceiling in the finished part of the basement, thus neccessitating additional work to be done in the basement), but after one month it is getting pretty old.
Add to that, though, the sewer issue. Thankfully, after getting a couple quotes and a referral, we were able to find "Gene's Water & Sewer" which seems like a professional, reasonably priced group. They were planning on starting work yesterday, trenching up a section of our front yard, but the rainy weather complete with gale force winds, has delayed them and now they won't be able to start until Monday.
As if that wasn't enough, yesterday's gale force winds caused our fence to blow over. This morning Ian and I were preparing to leave the house and I glanced out the window and said, "Oh look, the wind blew over a couple of the lawn chairs." It took me a second to realize that the lawn chairs were the least of our problems, that three 5-foot sections of the fence were missing.
Ya gotta laugh...what else can you do?

Where did your fence go? Did you ever find it, or did you give up after searching a half-mile radius.
BTW--It seems more of a "When It Rains It Blows...A Lot" scenario.
Was your contractor OK after falling through the floor/ceiling?
The fence actually just fell right over onto the sidewalk and Ian and I had carted it off to the driveway minutes before I took the picture. And, let me just add that 5-foot sections of fence are heavy!
James-the-Builder was fine. I wish I could say the same about my basement ceiling, the couch which was just underneath it, and the boxes of food and kitchenware which had been piled in the basement after being cleared out of the old kitchen...oh well...
