It could be worse, the water pipes where I went to college included some made out of wood, dating from the Revolutionary war. Supposedly while excavating, to repair one that broke, they found the skeleton of what appeared to be an English solder, it wasn't a normal grave site.

Interesting. The brick walls of the sewer pipe are visible.
Yup - which is what I was looking for - I had no idea (until the con ed guy told me the day before) that sewer pipes were brick...at least the ones on my street. I was able to get that shot because they weren't working most of July 4th or I couldn't have gotten close enough.

I would guess that all that wood structure is necessary to prevent the hole from collapsing in around the workers.
Well documented.

for those of you following the sinkhole saga

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, backup a couple of shots in that gallery of mine

this, in the middle of a serious labor dispute between the utilities company and the workers. The workers got locked out by the company
and the management is manning this work, it appears - but also
have hired outsiders.

I was sort of fascinated by the decaying infrastructure and a bit
concerned, as well, as this is only about 100 yards down the street from my building.

Don't lose heart, they might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a
