She added: “To celebrate, I created a replica of the street scene in cake form: two layers of chocolate sponge with peanut butter frosting.” Harvey claims her street experienced a massive 6-foot deep hole resulting in the road being torn up, including directly in front of her home.

In an Interview with FOX8, Natalie explained: “Our driveways on my side were blocked for about three months this summer. Now the other side is blocked, so nearly every house on the opposite side of the street from mine has their driveways blocked.”

“Happy first birthday to our street construction!” Harvey wrote.

Speaking on why the road work took so long, Natalie says it because of the sporadic work schedule. She said: “As an example, they will work every day for a week, then there will 2-3 weeks with nothing. The work has picked up in the last couple of weeks. But you never know when it’s going to stop and when it’s going to start back up again.” However, the post has since gone viral with over 800 shares and positive reactions.

Another, Brian Cornell added: Thank you for the light-hearted complaint. You have style and skill.’ While a third, Mary Marto said: “What a great sense of humor you have! Keep on keeping on!”
