Did you know Pennsylvania law requires you to call 811 at least three business days before you dig? That's not just for contractors and big projects. Even homeowners working on simple projects like a new mailbox or expanding your garden need to call 811 before they dig. It's simple, it's free for you as a homeowner or renter, and it's the law!

Now, he's traveling all over the world sharing his art and his daughter (now 20) has her own chalk art pieces too.
