    Proud too. They took enough pictures of it.

    What kind of work were they doing?

    If those flags are short like the ones we use -12"- then the water is only 6 inches deep. That's what I call an 'Optical Conclusion'.

    Your assuming that the water was there when they did the locate. I'll give you that the puddle may be deeper than 6 ", but i'm pretty sure quite a bit of us have trudged through worse stuff than some dank water.

    I have personally been up to my knees (without the muck boots) in mud and cow s$@#. The little ole lady was nice enough to call the office an hour after we started to let us know it was "a little" muddy. I had to hose off my pants and boots before I got back in the truck, but the smell lasted all day.

    The ticket was for ditching due to flooding, so I'm assuming the telephone guy marked it with wadders on.

    But damn. That is some serious dedication. Oh, and it wasn't me :O

    Looks strange too me. After mucking through the water, why not mark the last 30' to the house?

    How did you find this? Did I e-mail them to you by accident? It's the pics from that bogus emergency I got last week. Contractor never did show up.
