broke ground anyway on a Friday night and cut 24 strands from the building with our datacenter in to the main care facility and the apartments. That was a long night but we did get an all new loop in place and the company we had help us was awesome. I was just glad the horizontal boring was already done. I know our maintenance guy told the construction crew he was taking all the keys until we were ready for them. We had no phones, no networking and the fire panels used some of the fiber as well so they were all down. I was not here when the original fiber was first put in so I don't know why there was no redundancy prior.
Funny thing is, they knew that they would break the fiber when they started because the strands went where the new building was going.
