true, they seemed pretty keen to dig up my garden. Forgot about that.

but the problem is they dont dig it deep enough and i didnt want to have to dig it all up again. ive dug it so far down to a depth of about 10" they said they dig down to 6" but in the past when they have dug into our garden, when we had it installed first time around in the 90's, then re-installed again in 2005 after a time away they dug up the garden on both occasions to install the green conduit for the drop cables.. but due to the hard ground they dont dig further than about 3" below the surface, its impossible to dig deeper without a pick axe or something the spade just dont dig in.. really clay type soil.. when I dug it out on the weekend I had to use an SDS Chisel to break up the ground.

So seeming as I had already dug over half way I just said i would finish it off.

lol maybe I should of let them replace the cable and be done with...no wonder they was a bit annoyed.. 1 guy even commented I can show you how to dig...

Not my fault though, its VM's cock up.

why book a pull of a 2nd cable for today, then send some guys out on friday to sort the T and pull a cable? then another engineer this morning to connect everything up when they knew 2 guys were booked to come out this afternoon.
