[QUOTE="cdschoonie, post: 3606891, member: 43126"] I ran a backhoe for years, when I bought undeveloped land once I rented one to dig my own water and gas line ditches. I marked everywhere I would dig, called ‘One Call’ which later changed to 811, had to wait 48 hours, once everyone had marked their respective lines, I got to it. In the 3rd bucket, I pulled up 2 ends of a fiber optic…oops. It was the line for a half mile of residents. As it turned out, the guy marking the line marked their line, which would’ve shown me it was there. Problem was he marked it over 150’ east of where I marked my dig. He was a contract surveyor, and after visiting with the phone guy while he repaired it, he told me this had been that company’s 3rd marking screw up. He said this was their last and most expensive screw up made lol. [/QUOTE]
