This is the way some jobs go. I mean if it was easy everyone would be doing it, right?
The repair is their nickle. They were not only almost impossible to work with, they didn't do their job at all.
I'm used to working with professionals. One of the problems with the locators is most of them are kids making next to nothing with everyone expecting technology to make up for their ineptitude.
This situation involved company employees who aren't worth shooting at or with. Part of the problem was me. After three calls to DIGTESS I finally went to the office and confronted the manager.
She showed me a workorder signing off the locate. The boys had lied to her. Then they lied to me. Folks just don't go around picking up just that company's flags.
My wife says if I don't like someone it's like a billboard across my face. We might say it was a neon one by that time.
It isn't over. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif I've seen the original subdividing plat. It shows the original fence line as the correct one. So I have two different surveys. It's almost to the point of needing a third one to see who's right.
I also have the situation where the customer wants to put the fence along a line that will highlight the trees.
So there will be more locates by my boys at the water company. There will be more fence holes. So I will work at everything else and give this section a little time to simmer and settle.
The other side, the gate, overhead, all that is coming along fine. Today I got some fence welded up and it's what I want.
I don't know if everyone can understand but on a project there comes these moments when one isn't just working but actually becomes a part of the package. Maybe if I explained it as being like part of team, say in school, baseball, and it's all about you and none of it's about you but about itself.
It's what I work for. I like it. They're the moments like in a bicycle ride after a long hill where you get to coast and enjoy. It always seems the stiffer the hill the sweeter the coast.
