A comcast contractor came to my door and asked for permission to dig up my
lawn to install some cable from one neighbor to another neighbor. I said ok.

What if I said no, what would they do? Can I barter with them for free cable
service?

Has anyone tried?

They can almost certainly use the easement along your yard to lay cable, with
or without your permission ... and more than likely, that will appear to be in
your yard anyway. That installer was just trying to save cable distance and
make it easier.

In short, you would have achieved nothing with an attempt to bargain.

In most places, there are permanent utility easements for x-number of feet
in from each property line. If they were putting the line elsewhere, and
you had refused, they simply would have used those easements. If they were
in the easement area, they were just being polite in asking you if they
could dig there.

So unless your "lawn" is a few hundred acres, and running the cable across
your property saved them a few miles, the likely reaction to attempting to
negotiate some kind of agreement would be rolling eyes, followed by some
official notification that they'd be digging up part of their easement.

And how many lawns does the Comcast cable pass thru to get to your house?
Maybe all your neighbors should demand free cable.
Come to think of it, we should all get free electric and phone too!

Do they say they will repair the damage, or are they planning to just
leave a scar across the lawn?

Back around 1979 or 1980 in Phoenix Viacom wanted to lay cable down the
street side of my neighborhood because the utility rightaway <SP> was in
the back yards that were all fenced with no alleyway. Every owner
occupied home managed to get something from the cable company and all
yards were put back into original or better condition when they were
done. A few people got 6 months of free cable and two of us had them
trench for sprinkler systems. They came in and removed the sod and saved
it, later replacing it as they finished each set of yards. They removed
the sod and started trenching with a ditch witch Monday, trenched
Tuesday and Wednesday AM, laid the cable Wednesday PM & Thursday and
replaced the dirt and sod Friday on my long block. The following two
weeks they tunneled under the street from each box and put in boxes
across the street.

They typically just lay the cable across the lawn and call out a bury crew.
They just flip over a slice of sod, drop the line in and tap the sod back into
place. Pretty simple. Sometimes the edge will brown for a bit, leaving a
line in your yard, but it is no big deal, it will heal.

Well and good until the lawn "aeration" team comes along to punch little
holes in the turf!

Uhm ... the cable is placed deaper than any aeriation equipment is going to
reach. Worry about sprinkler heads if you must worry about something.

Umm....then you've personally inspected each and every buried cable
installation to make such a statement? If so, explain how my neighbor managed
to chop up his Comcast cable with a mere lawnmower, never mind aerator. Or why
my own cable emerged from the ground in at least two places (so far) requiring
someone (read: me) to rebury it.

Have you actually watched one of these cable bury crews operate? I have, and I
have no doubt many if not most cables are lurking just below the sod in
numerous places. The reality is most of the contractors used by Comcast and
others just slap the cable down in whatever slit they manage to create with
the modest walk-behind machines that they use...

It is *supposed* to be several inches down. Obviously there will be crews
that will fail to do it correctly, just like everything else in life. That
doesn't make my statement less true.

Perhaps, who am I to argue. If you hire crap labor to put it in, you get crap
work out of them and the job will be crap. Some companies would rather hire a
whole lot of crap and then fix issues as they arise rather than to do it right
in the first place .... that is how I make my living, I sell myself as doing
work that is NOT crap.

Having said that, I did inspect one point in my yard after the bury crew came
by and the cable was at least 6 inches down ... I didn't dig it up, I just
shoved a stick down there until I found it.

How about an elaboration then. They have a machine and they slice the sod and
flip it over and then the cable is pushed down into the soil.

I believe my quote said "... and drop the line in". You can take it all
extra-literally if you like.

Your pathetic attempt to claim misinterpretation by someone (else) who read
precisely what you wrote is typical of a weak writer. And your use of the
phrase "extra-literal" was laughable in the same context - you don't really
understand what that rarely used phrase actually means.

Alright ... thanks. Welcome to my killfile. I really do not care what you
think. As far as any other reader goes, I am quite sure that what I wrote is
clear, especially after I elaborated and indicated that they are supposed to
bury the cable deeper than what an "aeriator" is supposed to reach.

Insecurity, fragile egos, the need to pump up their sense of self-worth

Doc Stop Brownosing and pls stfu already, Comcrapstic is what it is just

No Mike I give you what you want so badly. You just refuse to admit you are
sick. I just wanted you to explain to me some of the lies you have said. I
will not pollute that welfare group so I continue it here as you made the
claim that I am on notice and you can not back it up. Do you continue you
claim that you have me 'On Notice'. Or will you weasel out again?

One day you can be ok then turn on me like the sick person you are. Why are

works for Comcast said you are the biggest joke they ever heard of. You
once again a liar and a fool. You are stalking me and harassing me. You act
nice one time then you have a fight somewhere else and now you are the same
old asshole. I told you I would be nice to you then you turn psycho again.
You may have complained to Comcast again but they know you are sick.

Tell me what set you off again? I said nothing to you what-so-ever. Then you
attack my mother-in-law and my wife. You are just one sick paranoid psycho.

Post proof I attacked your MIL and wife LIAR! You are the one that
called your MIL a welfare rat, by implication, when you claimed everyone
receiving SSDI is on welfare and stated you were posting your attacks on
me to that newsgroup on her behalf. I attacked your lies in self defense
and once again you proved for me that you are a sick pathological LIAR!
Just like your lies that Comcast sells customer information and when you
posted you are no longer going to harass and stalk me as you claimed
less than 72 hours ago. You seem unable to post to any newsgroup without
lying. Just like your newsgroup get rich quick spams that are documented
and archived on google, all LIES!


So you see your continual posting of lies and troll bait post are why I
am replying to you as I am now. When you posted a few reasonable post I
replied reasonable to you. I will continue to respond to you as I see
fit based on my opinion of your post. It really is just that easy to
avoid me pointing out your harassment, stalking and LIES. If you don't
post lies you can't be called on them. If you don't harass and stalk you
can't be reported for harassment and stalking.

Mike I just don't get it. I said I was sorry for every argument we ever had.
I thought we could move one. I actually was feeling sorry for the way I

you have some duty to haunt me and when I object then you say I am harassing

Man you are sicker that I had ever imagined. You don't even see this do

Because you are once again LYING! you LIED in your very first post to
this newsgroup and got called on that lie by several people. That
newsgroup you are referring to is for people drawing their Social
Security Disability pay. The Social System is an insurance system those
people pay into for years before collecting any benefits. Welfare is a
handout program and has nothing to do with Social Security.

You really seem to have several serious problems. for one you can't seem
to remember what you post from one hour to the next. You have displayed
a serious reading comprehension problem and several social disorders
including the fact you seem to be a pathological liar.

The only reason I respond to your post is because you got mad the first
time I proved you are a LIAR and started harassing and stalking me.
Don't you dare try to reverse that because the truth is self evident
that you are the STALKER harassing me.

If you have ever worked enough to pay in enough to qualify you should
apply for SSDI as it is clear you have severe mental disabilities and
should have no problem getting qualified.



PAY ATTENTION.

Once again:

It really is just that easy to avoid me pointing out your harassment,
stalking and LIES. If you don't post lies you can't be called on them.
If you don't harass and stalk you can't be reported for harassment and
stalking.

I suggest you engrave that on a sledge-hammer and pound it into your
skull until it sticks.

like you are what you are, anyone paying Comcrapstic over $100 for
cable/internet has all the rigth in the world to bitch all they want.
Start a forum for bitching and complaints about Comcrapstic and people will
not do it here.
Maybeeeee!
I see you are still shelling out your cash to Comcast while claiming
they provide inferior service. I find that rather ironic from someone
who wants to flush his brains. :)
LOL I see that you are still posting you hate and lies. LOL
Even though I hate to say it, you're the one that

LOL you two are the biggest NOODLES i have ever met. why dont you just
exchange phone numbers, talk like REAL men, and get over each other
rather than fill up this forum with your hatred for one another. no one
gives a fuck about you two. seriously - you two are battling over who
is wrong or right and trying to convince others of it. no one cares!
So if your REAL men, exchange numbers and talk it out, fight it out -
do whatever you want, but leave it off of here. so anyway - the
original question was about Comcast digging in his yard and would he be
able to get something out of it by letting them do it.. The consensus
seems to be that they can dig in the easement without asking, so they
were being polite by asking, and because of that you probably will not
be able to get anything out of them. There ya are - case settled. Lets
move on to the next question.....unless someone has some real,
intelligent, alternate answers to his question.

Why is it that nearly every post for help or a question in this forum,
turns into 2 people battling over who is right or wrong and smarter or
dumber? Why is that there is always SOMEONE who has to nit pick
everyone's comments for inacuracies and BLAST them for it. Everyone
makes mistakes and no one is perfect. Listen to yourselves.....you are
arguing over how deep cable should be buried. Come on! Relax a
little...
Some of the children simply love to have a word-fight: it's what gets
their juices flowing. Just kill file 'em and carry on. You're not
going to persuade them to grow up, do you think so? Actually, even
the trolls serve the purpose of scaring off the thin-skinned visitors.

Have you actually watched one of these cable bury crews operate? I have, and I
have no doubt many if not most cables are lurking just below the sod in
numerous places. The reality is most of the contractors used by Comcast and
others just slap the cable down in whatever slit they manage to create with
the modest walk-behind machines that they use...
As far as I know national building and utility codes require buried
cable to be a minimum of 6" deep, or below the frost line whichever is
deeper. A call to code enforcement at whatever authority issues
construction permits is in order should you have anyone bury cable on
your property that does not follow those guidelines.


FYI: My aerator has 3" tines. Anything less than 2" would produce
unsatisfactory results.

A comcast contractor came to my door and asked for permission to dig up my
lawn to install some cable from one neighbor to another neighbor. I said ok.
They're asking you for an "easement" on your property.
Easements are worth money. Look it up, or ask a Lawyer.
Probably worth a few hundred to a few thousand $$.

You know how they want to charge you for every little thing they do for you?
Here's your chance to return the favor.

Now they're asking you to give them for free something that is worth a lot
more to them than a "van roll" will ever be for you.
They're not your friends. They're a business. Don't be a sap.
Post by peter
What if I said no, what would they do? Can I barter with them for free cable
service?
Only if you get it in writing.
Verbal promises aren't even worth the paper they're printed on. :)
Post by peter
Has anyone tried?
You have the right to say no. Until you say yes, they're at your mercy.
If they dig up your lawn without your permission, you've got 'em cold.

The local telco did that my my lawn once, The put a big box in my lawn.
I got it removed, and got a newly sodded lawn out of the deal, just for
NOT suing them.

But you've already said yes. Probably too late for you now.
Oh well, live and learn.

There is already an easement. The easement is designated at the time the lot
was created. The easement is property of the city, county or state. You have
no rights to the easement as far as property ownership goes, however, you are
required to perform upkeep on an easement (i.e. mow the grass, shovel a
sidewalk, etc).

In short, Comcast has a right to lay cable through the easement whether the
property owner likes it or not.

Did you even consider they may want to dig on a portion of the property
that is not part of an easement?

If they were going to dig in a easement they would *advise* homeowners
when they are going to dig. If digging is not within the easement they
would *ask* for permission to dig.
