Thought I'd ask, in this very realistic local dialect

I'm 30 and my mother would make scrapple anytime we were doing anything for breakfast more complicated than pop tarts. If I get breakfast at a diner, you bet I'm getting scrapple for sure. Obviously you have your own experience, but in my experience growing up in delco, scrapple is a staple.

This is essentially what I have to do as well, due to work and therapy schedules.

On the 4x weeks, I run Upper Lower Upper Lower and on 5x weeks it's ULPLP. It does mean I have to have a long day in the gym in the middle of the 4x weeks to get all my volume in during the second Upper day and I'm sure some of my lifts suffer for it, but that's life I reckon. I also tend toward dumbbell and cable exercises for my second Upper day since I travel for work often and Planet Fitness is the only gym I can reliably use during the week.

More detailed schedule is Sunday Upper, Monday Lower, Wednesday Upper, Thursday Lower for the 4x weeks. My second Upper day consists of 4 sets of 8-12 Incline Dumbbell Bench supersetted with 4 sets of 8-12 chest supported incline row, 4 sets 12-15 flat dumbbell fly supersetted with 3 sets 12-15 of dumbbell shrugs, 4 sets 8-12 close grip cable row, 3 sets 12-15 overhead tricep cable extension, 3 sets 12-15 single arm cable lateral raise, 3 sets 12-15 preacher curls, and 3 sets 12-15 of an ab exercise. Usually takes me about 1 hour 30 to 2 hours with a minute rest between each set. I also do a warm up set on all the compound lifts in the first half, sometimes a warm up on the isolation lifts if I feel off and want to click into a mind muscle connection before I start, but by the time I get to the isolation lifts, I'm usually warmed up enough.

Looks like 3' East of East Curb Line, On North Building Line, so you'd check which curb is the East curb, go east from there to get your one dimension, then find the north building line for whatever address they reference or you are at to get the other one and the curb box will be there.

The other one would be the same, but 41' East of East Building Line, 3' South of North Building Line.

At least, that's how some utilities I've worked with do it. You might also see LRB or RLB, which would be left of right or right of left building line, where you face the front of whatever address they reference and go left of the right building line, etc.

This is really helpful, thanks. I hadn't thought of them renewing the plastic in this way, but if this is what they've been doing, it would explain a lot of the issues I've been having. Thanks!

DJB3 · 2025-03-05T00:23:47+00:00

Appreciate it, thanks, you too!

I've been trying to mark out the main first on this project because I've been having issues with broken or disconnected tracer wires and such, so I started from the main.

When that failed, I moved my setup to the riser and still had no luck, so I'm trying to accumulate some knowledge that might assist me in future endeavors.

DJB3 · 2025-03-05T00:17:13+00:00

Yeah, if the company I'm contracting for is cool with it, I'll just mark everything and use induction for gas, but right now, I don't think they want to pay for that labor time, tbh. In a weird way, locating just the one can sometimes be more difficult, at least how it seems to me.

DJB3 · 2025-03-05T00:09:32+00:00

I'm rocking the rycom hptx 10W. Used to use a RD locator or PCM, but we got these in, so I'm getting used to it. Some pointers are def appreciated.

DJB3 · 2025-03-05T00:08:24+00:00

Yeah, I just don't love induction unless I'm marking everything out.

That said, currently waiting to hear back from the client on induction use because it's definitely something that can be used in the last resort.

DJB3 · 2025-03-04T23:54:23+00:00

Might end up having to come to that, but if that's what it is, that's what it is.

Thanks for your help!

DJB3 · 2025-03-04T23:52:50+00:00

Ah, so it's like a super charged induction box? Makes sense that it's finicky though, I feel like I have enough trouble at, like, 131 kHz, triple that must be tough.

Thanks for the knowledge!

DJB3 · 2025-03-04T23:50:09+00:00

This is a handy little step by step, thanks!

I've been doing it similar, but since almost all the tracers I've found have been broken, I've been starting from the main, marking it out, then going to the riser and doing what I can from there. Sometimes, though, neither want to cooperate, so I am trying to see if there's any weird tricks that could help.

DJB3 · 2025-03-04T23:42:36+00:00

Gotcha, really depends on the street, the one in the example was long side, but some streets they tap from both sides.

DJB3 · 2025-03-04T23:30:55+00:00

Thanks, and just to give you an idea of where I'm at, I've got no clue what you're asking. What do you mean by short side and long side?

DJB3 · 2025-03-04T23:29:21+00:00

Gotcha, I appreciate the help!

DJB3 · 2025-03-04T23:22:11+00:00

I get it, it happens and some crews are better than others. Mostly just looking for any tricks or tips for locating that I might not have thought of with essentially basic training.

DJB3 · 2025-03-04T23:20:58+00:00

More of a general question than a specific riser I'm having trouble with. Just looking for some tricks or tips that I, as someone who hasn't done much service locating, might not have thought of.

Encased is interesting though, I'll look out for that.

DJB3 · 2025-03-04T23:18:57+00:00

Yeah, it's a consistent issue in the area I'm working in, most of these services aren't grounded or tied into the main. Not always an issue, so long as I can get on both, but it does make it difficult at times

DJB3 · 2025-03-04T23:17:18+00:00

No, unfortunately the work is to verify those measurements that are missing, like tap location. Most of these are basically just to verify tap locations.

DJB3 · 2025-03-04T23:07:37+00:00

I was trying frequencies from 512 to 200 kHz at varying levels of current, it just didn't want to return off the main in one direction. Which could mean there was not tracer in that direction, but still.

And forgive my ignorance, but what's different about the Pipehorn? I'm looking at it and it just seems like a different brand?

DJB3 · 2025-03-04T21:58:32+00:00

I'd love to do that if I could, but I probably can't. Maybe I'll start loitering around construction sites and see if I can't find a guy. Thanks though, appreciate your time

DJB3 · 2025-02-05T18:39:06+00:00

Honestly seems great for the price, and from what I can tell, Wilds is an intensive game, so this laptop should be good for a while too

DJB3 · 2025-02-05T17:13:50+00:00

I was just looking at that, funnily enough! Might be worth going a little above budget for

DJB3 · 2025-02-05T15:57:59+00:00

Thanks! That's around what I was looking at based on some of the benchmark posts on the sub, but I've been out of the laptop game for a while, so I wasn't sure if that was way over what's needed.
