Hi guys, Just the other day I was doing four pine stumps along a fence line. Most of the stumps were over a foot away from the fence. While I was grinding the first stump I was nearing the back side of the stump and I hit a PVC covered bunch of wires. I think it was a 120 v line going to there inground pool. The wire was burried about two inches under ground resting on the stump flare where the roots start. I am glad it was only a 120 line I only got a small shock.
In a case like this, who is responsible? The homeowner or my company. I think the electrician should have warned the lady and she should have made me aware of the location of the wire. I told her I would ask around before I can tell her what I can do to make it right.
