Bottini Fuel Explains Why You Should Call Before You Dig
марта 18, 2019 15:49 - no comments yet
Introduction
For many years now, Bottini Fuel has been explaining to people why it is important to call before they dig. For some reason, every year there seems to be someone that does not heed our warning. So instead, we are going to give you a list of the things that require a call before you complete. We are going to start off by letting you know what the reason is to call first, though.
Call First
The reason that there is the “Call before you dig” campaign is because there is so much danger that can happen from breaking things below ground. If you are digging by hand, you can get yourself electrocuted. If you are digging by machine, you can rupture gas or water lines and put people and property in danger. Let’s face it, people are terrible at tracking where they put things and bad stuff can happen. If it is in city, county, or state land, they are required to keep track of what they buried and where. This makes calling first the right thing to do. While you may not have put anything underground, you do have services that come to your house underground. So, we beg of you to call before you dig.
Dig Sites
There are a number of reasons people may feel the need to dig. Let’s take a look at the most common among them and let you know what you need to call for.
-
Flower beds or gardens – When people think of planting a garden or installing a flowerbed, they rarely give it a second thought. However, some things coming into your home are mere inches from the surface. So, while you may think that it is harmless to do that weekend project, you couldn’t be more wrong. It will cost you nothing to make a phone call and ask for the city to come to look before you plant. Yet, if you decide to dig and you happen to cut off the power to you or the neighborhood, it could cost you thousands of dollars. So, don’t take the chance and call first.
-
Mailboxes – While most of us living in the city don’t ever think about putting up a mailbox, it is a reality in many rural areas. They do not have access to the services we do. Therefore, they have the option of putting up a mailbox. If you are one of our rural readers, it is important to know that you will need to call before you put that mailbox up because many utilities can be found in very strange places. Especially close to the road where you are going to be installing your mailbox.
- Previous site – Just because you are digging in a known site, does not mean work was not done without your knowledge. Besides, if you did not keep track of what was put where, you may find yourself at risk of injury.
Conclusion
Bottini Fuel would like to take this time to remind you again that it is very important to call before you dig anywhere. It just makes sense to keep you and the community safe.
Handy Discusses the Best Wearable Technology
марта 2, 2019 15:03 - no comments yet
Introduction
Years ago, it was science fiction to think that we would be wearing technology on our body more than a simple watch. Handy remembers when this was the way it was. However, now we have all sorts of technology that we can wear that can do a variety of different things. As this technology becomes more and more popular, the manufacturers continue to come out with new things that we can see or do on them.
The Best of the Best
If you are a technology lover, you are going to want to make sure you read the entirety of this article. You might even find one or two things on the list that you didn’t know existed. We have been looking at the wearable technology for some years now and we didn’t know that some of these existed.
-
Everyday Use – If you are looking for a great all-around wearable technology device, then we would have to suggest the Apple Watch 3. This can do just about everything that your smartphone can. Obviously, you will not want it to replace this device since the screen size is so small, but it will work in a pinch. Many people have started using them in place of taking them into classrooms or meetings. You won’t find yourself scrolling away for hours on it, but you can quickly respond to texts or emails. Additionally, you can use it as a fitness tracker.
-
Kids – Let’s face it, kids these days are born with their own ISP and password. Often when questions arise, we find ourselves asking kids. They inherently know about technology without ever understanding how. For the kid-tech lover in your life, we suggest the VTech Kidizoom Action Cam. It is a much cheaper version of the GoPro, so you won’t feel bad if they break it. It can be mounted to all the same things that the GoPro can. This will allow your son or daughter to share special moments with you wherever they went.
-
Fitness – Hands down, the best brand is Fitbit. They have spent years perfecting their product. We know that not everyone has that kind of money to wear on their wrist. So, we offer you the alternative that is every bit as good as the Fitbit. It is the Xiaomi Mi Band 2. It will not only track your fitness, but it can also track your sleep patterns and can be synced with your phone to receive text and email messages.
- Virtual Reality – The latest technology is VR. People are using this technology to experience things like they never have before. You can be sitting in your home, but with the right VR headgear, you will feel like you are in Paris. The best brand for this is by far Oculus Rift.
Conclusion
If you love technology as much as Handy, you are going to want to get your hands on all of these devices. There are dozens of more types, you just need to make sure that you do your homework before giving up your hard-earned money.
