Spring is here (almost)

By DeAnne Boegli on May 2, 2012 in Tech Tips

The smell of spring is in the air. The trees are ready to blossom and you’re getting anxious to start working outside. There’s the new deck to build, shrubs to remove, new trees to plant, and installing a fence for Fido. Before you start on any outdoor projects, visit the national digging hotline or call 811. Get your underground utility lines marked—for free. It could save your life and keep your neighbors happy (after all, everyone appreciates not having their electric or phone lines cut).
