Don't think they are lazy it's just that some people don't know 'how' to make a link clickable.

Heck I've been around here for awhile and I still have problems finding anything with the search feature!! :B:B

Well I'm a newbie. So sorry if someone has to look at it twice.

I was just linking in case there were some you hadn't seen.

Hadn't seen that. Thanks for link.

BTW - it's why reposting things aren't bad. Noobs join all the time (like me :) )and this is entertainment, not a failure to use a search for common questions.

My house was built in 1949. The road by my house has been paved at least 6 times in the 30 years I've lived here. There are curb edges to my driveway that go down into the ground. When I looked up the plat map for my taxes a few years back, I was on a slight hill about 2 feet above the road bed when the house was built. I am now below the road surface. When I finally found the manhole cover I was trying to find (it was supposed to be in my driveway but I'd never noticed it), myself and the sewer dept. employee looking for it had to dig down 4 feet. The sewer line was added in 1967.

I drove a truck many years ago. One thing an older driver told me was to not feel embarrassed to stop, get out and look for clearance. I got razzed at times but I never topped a truck.

If you can't raise the height of the bridge then lower the road. That's what they did in New England for many historic bridges and trestles. A lot of the bridges have massive stone-work on each side that just cannot be altered. The solution: As you approached the overpass from either side the road would dive down several feet in order to increase the clearance.

As stated on the 11Foot8 website, there is a sewer line just under the roadway ... it cannot be ground down lower.

I don't think you were being picked on, they made it a "clickie" for you.
