My SoCal dig partner, D...Thanks for the comments. <br /><br />My SoCal dig partner, Dave G. is handy with the skill saw and repair work. It was an old house we had always wanted to dig. Map box marked the spot....So it was a simple few drill holes and then using the probes to confirm the existence of the holes' location. Then, demolition time!!!<br /><br />Techno jobs are 99% non-ABD which is the big plus side! The down side is the extra 1/2 day of labor and repair costs....oh, and convincing the owner that their concrete garage floor or driveway will be "just fine."J.F.

The concrete appears solid, and still parked on. Your cut appears to be dead center which is great.

And that is by DIGGING one up. Even after digging lotsa holes that only yield some slicks, I still look forward to that thousand dollar bottle a great colored western whiskey or bitters.
