Thanks guys!
Billy the flags are how they mark the utility lines for home owners that want to excavate their yards. You make one call here, or fill out a form on the web site, and within 48 hours the cable TV company, electrical, natural gas, and phone companies will survey and mark your entire property. It's a free service here too since they don't want the expense of having to make a repair or a dead home owner.
Since I am putting in an irrigation system and planting trees, starting tomorrow, I had the entire place surveyed.
Larry my friend I completely agree. Have you ever seen the surfaces, bed spreads, lamp shades, remote controls, phone in a nice hotel under a UV light...... The places are filthy and when ever I check into an hotel room the first thing that I do is unplug the phone, find the remote and throw them on the bed spread and then wad that up and throw it on the balcony or outside..... Then I wash my hands...... Seriously......
Several years ago I checked into a very highly rated major hotel in LA and was tired as hell. I set up my lap top on the desk and worked for about an hour returning work emails. When I finally sat back I was horrified...... the lamp right next to me on the desk and a foot from my computer with a beige share had a used condom fully unrolled and draped over the outside of the shade. It matched so well that I can understand why the maids missed it since I did too for an hour. I was on the 8th floor and unplugged the lamp, went on the balcony, checked below to avoid collateral damage and pitched the entire lamp off the balcony.
Then I called the manager and explained what happened and that although I can understand how this could happen since the color match was near perfect I didn't appreciate it. He told me that I had nothing to worry about and then comped my room and entire stay. The next morning the lamp was cleaned up and gone..... End of story but man was I grossed out....
Billy no plan for radiant heating mostly because I am a cheap bastard but it would be a great idea I am sure.
