PurpleXVI posted:I'm also remembering that case from, I think it was a year or two ago, in Canada, where someone hired someone to drill a well on their property, but they punctured the aquifer in an un-containable well and ended up flooding the property and a decent degree of the neighbourhood, in such a way that the contractor fled the country because it was such an immense shitfest they did not want to deal with. Reminds me of the Fly Geyser. Tried to drill a well, hit an artesian hot spring. Hasn't stopped spraying in a century.

nm posted:Did you call xcel? You know the ones actually doing (well contracting) the work? It isn't the government job to know exactly what they're doing, just make sure they have a permit. It was Centerpoint. They didn't know either except that it was to replace some gas lines. They didn't know which ones. The project manager wasn't available and the scope of work wasn''t available on line. I gave up on that one after a few tries. Seriously. Am I the rear end in a top hat for asking questions? They dug half my yard. Didn't tell me when or where before doing it. Didn't tell my neighbors where they were digging either. Didn't even have the courtesy to throw a rock at the window and see if someone was home. I just don't like my yard dug up by some insane person without them asking nicely. I know they have right of way because of the gas line, but it's still polite to ask and inform.

Sounds like his city does a poo poo job of notifying residents. We got fiber to the house city-wide several years back, and there were multiple rounds of notices sent out before anyone showed up in our yard to start digging. Even had someone go door to door a few days beforehand to answer any questions, though I don't believe the city required that.

There's a bunch of other hot springs in the area that are bathable, if that's your thing. Some that aren't, and the only way to tell is with a thermometer, so don't go jumping into strange steaming holes in the ground.

I’ve read about every case that happened in Yellowstone. It’s an awful way to go, up there with acute radiation sickness. The other takeaway from Death in Yellowstone is that storms on Yellowstone Lake are sudden and fierce.

You might remember some people freaking out about stretch ceilings during the Sochi Olympics, but it's not crappy construction. It's a way to get a S M O O T H ceiling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkybnN8XdzM

Technically code-compliant in a really stupid way? I don't really know about regulations for minimum step depth but I assume that's what's going on since running that one step straight across would leave you with a section of the next one down being less than 1" deep
