planting and measuring and calling
so... we got most of the planting done, and i did some preliminary measuring. today, i called OUPS (oops) to make sure we wouldnt hit any utilities when I was digging. and then I had to call the city because they dont mark for your water lines.
well, neither does the city. your hookup is your responsibility, but if the builder did it right, it would be 42" below ground, and in line from your basement to the shutoff in the alley.
so. i just need to measure where the line would be outside the house and draw a straight line to the shutoff.
now need to go back to work, reboot a server, and then see about getting some things at the hardware store, and some food.
