I wish I could say I'd tested the silicon tape outdoors. I've used it
outdoors, on my phone line that a neighbor's half-baked contractors cut,
but I buried that and haven't see it for 10 years. Phone and DSL work
fine, however.

When I still had dial-up, one day my computer went out. I go downtairs
and ttwo guys are poking at the ground with a metal rod. I'm in a
townhouse and they're rebuilding a little fence around the front "patio"
and instead they cut one of my phone lines.

I should have said they were working for the guy next door. I

When the electric company wanted to add a pole on the street in front
of my house, they called DigSafe and had it marked. Yep, they drilled
with a big auger and took out half my sewer line. I sent them the
$3200 repair bill. Plus, they had two trucks and crew out here during
the digging to support the new pole.

Maybe they thought DigSafe had marked where they should dig. The odds
are 50/50.
I think my chance of hitting something without dig-safe telling me
where it is supposed to be are a lot poorer than 50-50.
