After the contracts for placement of gas lines were signed, the pipeman arrived pdq. Here's a photo of a slice of my woods being cut outside of the boundary of the contracts.

I took this photo after seeing nice pines lifted up from the ground and carried up high by and unceremoniously dropped in a growing pile.

Mr. Pipeline Boss hisself rolled up in a pickup, and pronto called his superior telling them "she's calling her lawyer". No, DH called HIS lawyer. This illegal activity was halted and this mad post surgical hen retreated to her house.

We now have 3 pipelines soon to cross this property with one being a tie in to a new line going into the neighboring property. The 24" pipe on our place will run 3' underground 700' from the road. It then dives 30+ feet under our wetlands for 1/4 mile, starting at the wall of woods pictured till it exits our property and 600 ft later will once again be minimally underground.
