agreed.
I was just trying to make the point; depending on what is really going on, 2 1/2 months is not entirely out of the question. Not typical but not impossible either.
the rest of the info (seed v. sod, no compensation for loss of yard use) is typical and most likely correct. As LS stated, refer to the easement documents for any requirements of any specific or required action on the part of the gas company to repair any yard damage. He sees a lot more actual documents than I ever will but in my experience, requiring sod is very unusual.
