    Call before you dig....

    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.
