Holes...What are they really up to?

by Scott Bales

Site prep: A how to guide on digging holes (exposing the gas line)

Step one: make sure you gather the necessary tools and supplies - Shovel, gloves, proper footwear, sun screen and a good attitude.


Step two: define what motivates a hole and how to best approach the role of a hole digger (also known as a "trench motivator"). In the picture above we see the hole emerging from hibernation. Also notice improper foot ware - a proper work boot will make the work safer and easier. 


Step three: As a trench motivator one must always remember what they are looking for - remember that half a hole only shows you what you want to see. As the hole gets deeper dig slowly and methodically so as not to damage the gas line.


Step four: Success! the hole has emerged as a whole and is ready to come out into the world as a functioning member of society - also celebrate the treasure you have found, the gas line is there and safe.


Step five: Properly denote the location of the hole to prevent accidents. In the image above a road sign marks the location - potential victims of the hole are distracted by the promise of an open house to the left.
