    actually yahoo, that's what i have been doing for some time.

    i do mainly irrigation valve location and wire issues, most of my utility locating is for myself for my own protection.

    in the last year i've been trying to expand my knowledge with the help of manuals, forums and discussions with friends and family in the utilities locating field. i'm also putting together a manual specific to the irrigation industry.

    i am thankful that the vine has a great bunch of members that are dedicated to their craft.

    thanks
