Hmmm where to start

No really? Clearly you missed the

in my post. You honestly believed I thought a free service offered a money back guarentee?

If you're hiring someone under the table to come do something on the weekend, how do you know he's not just pulling your chain to get your money, but actually not even locating the lines properly?
All I'm saying is that there have been a ton of accidents in the past because utilities weren't located properly. It wouldn't be something I'd play around with.

Yes, this is how businesses and
all contractors work. Take your money and run without doing any real work.
Sure, under the table is one thing, but many locators are independant contractors, meaning anytime they come out, they're still operating under their own business and billing as such, regardless of hours etc.
Hell, the courts wouldn't have anything to say about it when your neighbourhood explodes because of someone doing a locate job not being from AB1call. There is no such thing as a duty of care unless the locator is from AB1call.
Oh, would you like green text this time?
No idiot is going to be as dumb to operate sans insurance in such a touchy field as this. One missed gas line and you're toast
