Dial before you dig

(Courtesy of Dave Clenton)

You may or may not know about the law in the USA requiring you call for utility locating before you do any excavation. The pictures below are a result of a farmer using a post hole digger without calling for "locates" and he hit an underground, high-pressure cross country gas pipe.

They never did find the guy………. Took out 2 homes. (CLICK ON THE PICTURES TO ENLARGE).
