No wonder it was free. :-) That's no deeper than if I were even trying to get out some stubborn weed roots.<br /><br />Maybe they'll be nicer to me now that 9 years have passed. Maybe I shd call again.Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-8691477018829617152009-10-16T17:22:12.158-07:002009-10-16T17:22:12.158-07:00Glad you made it through the 'big one'. We...Glad you made it through the 'big one'. We've had some storms like that, before they cleaned out all the run off drains in the neighborhood, we had a 100 year storm on the 4th of July. The neighborhood run off lake, which is five houses down ended up about 10 feet from our back door. Luckily it stopped just in time. Some fast dumping storms still fill up half our backyard, but it drains in a day or so.<br /><br />About the cable, we had cable put in when we moved here. The cable company just brought this handheld little trencher, dug down about 6-8 inches, then ran the cable completely around the back of our house to avoid the driveway, then tamped down the trench. Did it in about 20 minutes. No cost. <br /><br />A few years later I wanted another connection, so they just ran it from the main box, trenched again, connected through the wall, and cost me about $30. Now I have TV, phone and internet through them, nice a cost bundled.Johann The Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11676712437788270947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-11558884193244487582009-10-16T11:22:02.159-07:002009-10-16T11:22:02.159-07:00I *had* cable.

(2) The guys they sent out didn't see anything on the outside of the house and didn't want to go under the house to look. (3) They'd have to dig a trench through my front yard (under the sidewalk, trees, shrubs, etc.) and I'd have to pay for it.<br /><br />So I have satellite tv and phone dsl.Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-35698618296266608242009-10-16T06:50:51.536-07:002009-10-16T06:50:51.536-07:00I have one word for you "Cable."
