We've got some idiot plumbers that have been working on the building next door. They have a rental backhoe and have been digging all around the bldg replace\repairing old sewer connections. I noticed Friday that where they were digging there were no markings showing power, gas, etc.
Well they busted a gas main about two hours ago! We all been sittin a couple hundred yards away ever since. Police\fire wouldn't let anybody start a vehicle in the parking lot so we all just stood there and melted. \:\(
It's all good now as long as they don't let those idgits comence to digging again.

"Backhoe Joes" that's what I call them. I get a few every so often that come in from Kentucky that don't understand the CallB4Udig law.

Sometimes it just happens, many active subsurface utilities remain that are old as the 1930s. Just don't have good maps. Tornadoes hit courthouses, records burn, etc. Most new stuff should be where it's supposed to be unless the asbuilt is crap or worse-never turned in.

Thing is about these guys-They Never Called. There is not a stripe{orange, green} to be found anywhere around the building. I was eavesdropping when the MissUtility and Consolidated Utilities guys come in. They both were shaking their heads sideways while talking to gas & fire officials saying "we never got a call". Dude on the backhoe had a 10' long by 6' deep trench dug out in to the street when I went out to get lunch.

Idiots! They will never call and this situation will not teach them a lesson either. Oh well idiots have to live here too I guess.
