Nice aim.

So, yeah, the folks operating the heavy equipment to dig up and replace the sewer line in the alley alongside my house managed to cut my Verizon drop yesterday. Fortunately, the tech who was coming out this morning to relocate my cable and internet jacks was able to replace it, and has laid out a dozen "hey, don't do that again, dipshits" flags along the current line, which will be buried Monday or Tuesday.

I'll be sending a LOOK BEFORE YOU DIG, GENIUSES note to the city, because, really, the hole they dug is nowhere near my yard, so it had to have been someone fucking around in order to sever the line.

Sand! You gotta love Florida soil, at least in my line of work!

When I had to replace my sewer line due to tree roots (as well as plant my posts for the gymnastics rings & pullup bar and, eventually, the salmon ladder), I did indeed.

I can dig a two-body grave in a conveniently brief period of time, even with trees nearby.

Oh, how aggravating!

Turns out the drop was actually run *beneath* the alley, not wherever it was supposed to exist. Fortunately, the tech who was out to relocate my wall service jacks re-ran it and saved the second tech, who had been dispatched to run the drop, a trip. The latter guy was thrilled to hear he wasn't needed, because he was running late from a long first appointment.
