oops.... sorry... I did not mean to send this to this list..I was sending this to a friend..who is building a house..... I should say..having one built for him..and it is right next door to where he currently lives. (by the way..if anyone is looking to buy a extra clean lovely home... where everything looks brand new.... at Lake Havasau Arizona..this is the house to buy. If I were moving I would live in this house in a minute. This guy's garage floor is clean enough to eat from...lol! I have already told him I want to buy his van when he sells it..I know it will be in 'perfect' condition! We have been friends for 50 yrs (we were 8 when I moved into the same apartment building he lived in) So I can harass him! He is a real Type 'A" personality and would have freaked at Robert's experience. I thought he would appreciate it. The group info and Robert's whole name were not sent in this email I sent to my friend.

I know this is not something you have to worry about as there was no building on your new property..but read this..and just say...'Thank You God!" lol! This was written in response to a note I sent in to a list..where someone had been going nuts trying to find out why they had no sound on thier computer..and after weeks of being pissed...and following wires... and rechecking they discovered they had a mute button on their pc and had pushed that...lol! I had written in and said not to be so embarrassed..we all do stuff.. we are all too human.... I had blocked messeages I sent to MYSELF! duh! lol! Hugs, Rose ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Rose, indeed, we are all human (so far <g>), my neighbor is building an addition to his home and assured the contractors there was nothing buried in his yard. There was- our power. That was the first to go. Trying not to be red faced, he gave the go ahead for the contractor to continue- next, our telephone lines. They stopped to repair the telephone lines. Construction continues- and the alarm system fails. There was an officer with gun drawn trying to get me to be quite and come outside. That was done. Finally the contractor asked my neighbor in +writing+ if there was anything else, and again he said no. The tv cable was pulled out. <laughing?> They repaired all that. I made a joke that he must be getting close to the water line or sewer line. Yep, they cut both of those. After that was repaired, I decided we could relax. That was everything. Wrong. They cut the gas line. (Talk about a gas repairman arriving with speed, I think he arrived in two minutes!) The contractor and police evacuated a 7 home radius. I went over to rub it in. His wife answered and told me her husband was hiding. She let me in and I went to his office. His face was oh, so RED. Redder now that he saw me looking at him. He could barely say: "I'm sorry" this time around. His wife told him "Serves you right, dear, for not checking before you told them all was ok." "But, that is just it. I did check. Here is the letter from the city saying nothing is buried in our yard." For a while there, I think the contractor was seriously considering dropping this guy for a customer! Oh well, the good thing out of this is we now know where everything is buried!
