a.h.r. relate: The house across the street from me had a 2nd floor toilet let go soon after a young couple bought the house. They hadn't moved in yet and the water ran for close to 24 hours before they stopped over to do some work and found out what had happened. Most of the first floor had to be gutted and they are just putting the finishing touches on the repairs.
So, I pull out of my driveway this morning and I see a cable company van backed into their driveway - completely in their driveway, at least a car's length off of the street.
Next to the passenger side front bumper is an orange hazard cone.
Now, I can see using a cone or 2 when the van is stopped on the street as a warning. "This van's not moving, I'm working in the area, please be careful."
But what's the point of using the cone when the van is parked in a private driveway? I'm guessing "corporate policy" with no grey area. "If you are stopped to work, you will put the cone out, period."
