So he digs a 7-foot deep hole, using a backhoe, without even consulting the local utility companies? Right next to a commercial building no less. The jerk is lucky he didn't hit gas or sewer mains...
1- There is no gas lines available in this guy's town (very few cities have it in quebec)
2- Sewer lines are burried under the road. So there's no problem digging in your backyard.
Really the only good way to dig a hole, actually. I don't know what the number is in canada, but 800-dig-safe gets you to a office where the utilities will mark out your property. Works great and it's the law.
Although, I'm much more scared about his globby welding. Yikes.
They have a similar service called JULIE here in the states: Joint Utility Location... something or other. Anyway, they come out and mark, and surprisingly, you don't have to pay a dime (besides what you pay on your utility bills of course).
