811 - Call before you dig

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

I got an interesting email today, it’s from Matt on behalf of The Common Ground Alliance. Their message, “Call before you Dig”, is a good one. It looks like they’re trying to build awareness about their new nation wide (USA) hotline for DIYers and homeowners who have plans on doing some digging in the yard…

The guys at modernself.com have been busy building and posting… at least someone has.
