And My Wife Wonders Why I Drink

dayexco

helped son hook up utilities to a new dental clinic along a busy highway today. troops, we have a problem with telephone, tv, power, gas companies gobbling up the right of ways and making it a nightmare for us to work around their stuff. take a look at these pics.

Looks like typical northeastern US, to me.

Better you than me, brother!

(which one in that picture do you suppose would be the most expensive to repair if you had a dig-in?)

Doesn't even look like there were any paint marks for that URD cable.

take your pick, 4" high pressure natural gas, 4 fiber optics, 3 coax's, 2-600 pair phones, i forget what else was in there

I think it's the phone lines that are the most expensive to repair...or so I have heard.

Can i ask why you are digging there? You were hired to do what? Is my question.

Nice cats in those pics.(photobucket) Do you have the jackhammer attachment you could put on one to bust through stone?

I have to say extremely nice excavation work!

I'm sure it was a PITA though!

Looks like you are digging in fill too. That is never fun when working around utility lines.

Nice job Day.

She should wonder why you don't drink MORE!

That's some dig you had to deal with, We get them like that sometimes, and the builders wonder why it cost so much just to dig a little trench.

I hope you made good money on that one.

Did you use anything for pot holing the utilities? Vacume excavator?

Look at the pics again and you can see what they used to dig around the utilites.

Wrap a cable around all of them and tie it off to some truck about to leave the lot. Should make some room for you to work then.

Anyone use the underground x-ray machines yet? Years ago I looked into a Hydro Excavator, but wasn't enough business for it, but I am re-thinking that now with everything going underground and no one quite sure where it is.
