Appreciation post: A job in Charleston taught me to always check for buried lines myself

We were setting a post and hit a cable line the homeowner swore wasn't there. Cost me half a day and a $300 repair bill. Now I run my own locator before I even mark the line, no matter what the client says. Anyone else get burned by trusting a property sketch?

Remember my buddy who drilled into a fiber line the city map said was clear? Yeah, his boss was not happy.

Man, that reminds me of the time a backhoe took out our whole block's internet for a week.
