+1; he's really not that intelligent.
because clearly the intelligent thing would be for the utility companies to route shit all over the yard, cris crossing, and using extra materials instead of moving in straight lines and right angles from the source? I had a pretty clear idea of where everything was. As previously mentioned, the ground would not have been so hard if there had ever been any trenches dug for anything running back there.
Just when you think you have figured out all the different utilities and their various ways of doing screwy things, BAM that's when it bits you in the ass. You were fine w/ the shovel (still should call though) but right when that skid steer came out there should have been a call, no matter what you 'think'. How long have you lived there? Utilities have been around for almost 100 years, even if the lines were only 3 yrs old you wouldn't be able to tell where they dug.
