HELP! Question About Cables/Cable Companies

So, my wife and I have Directv/CenturyLink... Nothing to do with Time Warner.

Our neighbors DO have TWC. So over the summer, when they moved in (as it is a new subdivision), they ordered TWC while they were away and the guy came out and dug a trench going across our front yard right in front of the sidewalk.

One problem, it was the wrong house obviously. AFTER digging the trench, he knocked on the door and asked if he had the correct address, I told him the address he was asking for WAS correct, but we don't have TWC and didn't ask for their services. Again, it was my neighbors.

So, now, after my yard finally started appearing somewhat recovered, today a crew came to lay down their cable. They pulled their trenchdigger off of their trailer and parked it in my yard and when I came out and asked them what they were doing, they said they were laying down the cable for "my" TWC. I told them I didn't have TWC but my neighbors did and their cable was still unburied so it must be them (again).

He looked at me in disbelief and then showed me the paper... Sure enough, my address, my neighbors name. As far as I can tell, my neighbor just gave them the wrong address before moving in and so their bills have their names on them, but they have been coming here - and so have the cable burying guys...

So, after I go back inside, they start digging across the same place in my front yard again and drilled a hole going underneath one side of my driveway to the other and were pulling the cable through it.

Are they allowed to do this? I know that they have to run the cables to the pedestals located in various areas throughout the neighborhood (the closest to their house as far as I know). But the problem today is, someone came out last week and spray painted where the gas lines and stuff were on my property, thinking it was my service, and these guys just went digging without knowing...

Anyone know what's going on here? Are they allowed to dig up neighbor's yards in new neighborhoods for stuff like this? I keep reading something about easements...

Depending on where they are digging they might be in the public domain area. If you are in a new place look for the survey stakes at the front corner of your property. Anything from those stakes to the road is easement

Yeah, I have no idea about the stakes... I haven't noticed any our yard or our neighbor's yards on either side since the houses were completed. I went out and looked and they dug the trench about 6 inches on our side of the sidewalk (towards the house, not the road) and ran it all the way across.

Maybe call the HOA and ask them?

      Noah Fant? "Perfect fix?" More like imperfect fix.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      I've liked him since his rookie year as a prospect, but when he's been asked to play in a large capacity, he has simply not done well.   He does not really add anything, rather muddies up the room.  Fant is TERRIBLE as a blocker, a pure receiving TE.   Let's just put Tremble aside since he's PUP (although I still like him as a TE2, but yeah he's not our future starter)... Sanders has already shown better receiving skills than a Fant and has a nice ceiling.  Not to mention, he's got in-line run blocking skills.  I really want to see what he's capable of this year.  Also has a year+ experience now in Canales' offense, not to mention legit chemistry with Bryce. And after Sanders, I also imagine our staff is waiting to see how Mitchell Evans looks in camp as he's got the in-line blocking skills.  If he looks fully capable of filling in behind Sanders, then I don't see a need.  Overall, keep an eye out on early August moves.  They are usually soft indicators of how staff's view their rookie late rounders and roster overall.  This is a wait and see what the market presents and how they think their unit looks in camp.

      Every team has different needs of the backup QB.   On some teams a young hopeful makes sense and on others an old worn out dude makes sense.  We are a little more in the in-between IMO where you probably would prefer a Fields, Pickett, Howell type IMO.   So a young disappoint that you there is still some hail mary hope in.....given BY essentially was benched both seasons for performance (I know that's not the official line going into Seattle but I think most would agree he got a break and should of been benched later that year).  I know we want Bryce to be the week 17 guy all season this upcoming year.  But it's still in the reasonable thought process that the other dude could show back up.

      I wouldn't mind it if they bring him in cheap for competition. I would imagine he would vie for the 3rd TE spot with the rookie.
