The final step is lowering it, accomplished with jacks and cribbing blocks just like the lifting process.

Kelly Elsten has been arguing with the city over late fees on her utility bill. She was charged more than $40 in late fees over the last three years without realizing it.

Elsten is pictured in her home with her son Jack, 6.
