I work for ATT formerly BellSouth and I should have been watching them trench. I told them where the underground service was but failed to put a BIG marker line. The guy that was operating the trencher said "the bossman didn't say anything about wires".

Water under the bridge...........
I did make some progress.
I'm having a Scrape undercoating party! You are ALL invited! I'll supply all the tools and drinks.
