Did I here someone say Global Warming? Where did Global Warming go this winter?
I see that you haven't been keeping up with the latest news on the Climate Change/Global Warming/We're all going to drown theory.... The alarmists weren't amused.
Sounds to me like the answer was YES just simply call before you dig.
Exactly! It probably DOES say call AT LEAST 24 hrs in advance right?
Just tell the dig people you are putting them on standby.
As gravedigger max would say.........."Standby, we're inbound!"
... saying "excuse me sir, did you call PG&E before digging in the sandbox?"
That's funny.
I expected it to go more like this, I make the PG&E call and I get about handful of calls back from every utility company in town the phone people, the cable TV, the elect, the gas guy, the water dept, the waste man. They all say well we can meet you at such and such address at such and such time. As each dept. came out you just show them where you plan to be digging and they all say they don't have anything buried in that location but in case you do come close to the street easement we'll put some paint and flags down for you. Bingo! your off detecting to your heart's content.
