Being totally helpless when it comes to your kid is the worse. I remember my daughter having a nasty cough when she was about 10 months. She would cough and then groan from her throat hurting............. Rips you apart.17m old has had the worse diarrhea I have ever seen since Saturday afternoon. Every 10-15min spraying green water out.. I gave up on diapers and just wrap him in a towel and take him outside .. Worse part is him looking at me for help and nothing I can do.
Hope your little one gets better quick.

They are. I called immediately after hitting it and explained to them that the mark THEY put was off by 6'. They had a guy come put a temporary patch in and told me to call once we're done with the sprinklers and they will come drop a permanent fix and conduit in. The service guy said they sub out their locating to a 3rd party company and this kind of thing happens pretty regularly.

Thats good.
I always thought code was at least 18" below. Applies to everything but Cable and Phone Lines. They just lay them down right before the Sod goes down.

Exactly what I read too. This line was 6" below surface at most. I had no idea I even hit it...I heard a pop and looked up just see the end of the wire pull through the back of my garage and disappear underground.
I don't do this work for a living but around here they'll only ID gas, electric, and water service lines. Additions from the meter or panel for the likes of garages, etc are on you.
Them saying they'll fix it is probably them contacting the providers and they'll have their guy out to lay new above ground temporarily or direct bury.

Sort of the same here. The power company actually located and marked from the street to the meter behind my house, irrigation did the same and the cable company marked from where it enters my house to where it connects to the trunk line which is in my neighbors yard behind me. Water company just marks from the curb to the stop in the front yard, from there to the house is my responsibility.

I'm posting this in the wrong spot, but it is a complaint of mine and if you don't like it u can complain about it here. I moved a half hour away from pismo beach ca and dont get to ride much because of my little one. That is not my complaint, I love him. I use to enjoy looking at pismo freeriders on face book to sea what all the cool kids were doing in my neighborhood, but sometime in februaryish it became a closed group. I am not on Facebook nor do I want to be. Please correct me if I'm wrong but inorder to sea the site again I would need to join the kool aide drinkers (Facebook), then befriend one of the 204 members with my fake Facebook name? Thanks 4 the help. I probable won't join but would like to know how incase I have a wild hair. Dose anbody now who is running the site so I can whine in a pm to them on the x. Thanks again

Neighbors who never clean up their crap. Guy next to me has had a dead battery covered in a greasy towl on his dock since October. Next guy up from him has had a stack of tires in his yard for at least ten years. When he leaf blows his yard he just pushes everything to the edge of the street and leaves it there. I hate slobs.

My neighbor just mowed his back yard in three different directions instead of all the same way.... It really bothers me.

on my front I will usually cut around perimeter getting smaller and smaller, Then I might cut at a 45 degree angle to even out sometimes.
But that is just stupid. Never cut short direction.

I can understand the long way, and then some angle, but the little short way kind of threw me off. Maybe he is just alternating so he doesn't create grooves in the lawn from mowing the same way every time.

Then you would spend your days picking up poop instead of mowing
