I didn't know you had to hire an engineer to figure out how to fill in a hole.
I'll save them a lot of money. It goes like this,
place shovel in dirt pile
fill shovel with dirt
toss in hole
repeat if necessary

Things are out of control then you can't dig a simple hole in your own yard.

and he wasn't even close to China

and he wasn't even close to China

Maybe he was on his way back from China and was filling in the hole?

Maybe he is the one that switched China's gold for tungsten?

 

[sniffer]

maybe but what did he do with all the gold ?

 

[DigginThePast]

He used it to pay for filling in the hole. It really wasn't a profitable venture.

.That's a very exspensive metal detector lol

Oh, but this is California. It is not stylish to do it that way.
Everyone has to have their own personal engineer.

Must be a high demand for them in Spring when everyone starts planting flowers

I think Enrique has a chemical imbalance!

I recall this story when it hit the papers and TV news...

Montclair is actually not in San Diego but about 150 miles north in eastern Los Angeles county between Pomona and Rancho Cucamonga...

What the story didn't tell you is that the idiot diggers (braceros) were using a garden hose to breath through

Sniffer, that detailed outline for filling the hole might be worth 100k, and still be cheaper than an ignoranteer. lol

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

Id like to know what kind of detector he was using that he thinks can pick up gold at 60 feet deep!!

From the looks of the first pic it looked like they started under the porch which means they probably undermined the foundation or atleast compromised it's integrity. That's why OSHA and engineers were brought in.
