Maps



I could not resist these beautifully colored scribbles, describing 
the various utilities' paths along Lynhurst Drive. In a bit of time,
the crews digging and cutting through the sidewalks and
roadbed will know exactly where they can place the points of
their scoops and shovels -- or not.



For the past couple years, crews have been laying new sewage line 
throughout the Town of Speedway. These marks have, I understand, 
a universally understood code for the colors. 
Guess which one blue identifies?

Hee hee. Your utility guys use much brighter and more fun colours than ours. Over here it's usually just yellow chalk marks, not full on graffiti.

And the colors come in spray cans w/different sized nozzles. There's also a gizmo into which the spray can is attached, then the guy pulls the trigger on the attachment, spraying the paint w/o ever bending over.

Ask and receive - marking gun and paint info on its way under separate cover.
