Rescue workers pulled Ismael's body from beneath five feet of dirt piled in the collapsed  sewer trench at a Habitat for Humanity home on 7th Street off Cleveland Avenue.

Ismael, a plumber, was buried for almost four hours.

"With the rain that we had, it was a classic collapse," said Dave Rhodes, a battalion chief with Atlanta Fire and Rescue.. "Working in these conditions there's a danger of a spoil pile," when dirt removed from digging collapses back into the hole being dug.

He said the dirt weighed about 3,000 pounds per cubic yard "and we removed about 32 cubic yards of dirt."

Ismael fell into the nine-foot trench around 4 p.m., said Atlanta Fire and Rescue spokesman Bill May. Another unidentified man also fell into the gulch but was pulled out before rescue workers arrived at the scene. He was unharmed.

Jasmine Ford, a neighbor, was at home when the collapse happened.

"One of his co-workers came over and asked for a shovel," Ford said. "He was frantic."

She said a crew of four to seven contractors were working on the trench before the collapse.

"Guys were trying to dig him out by hand," said another neighbor, Everett Cooper.

Rhodes said investigators from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration were on scene to determine whether the work being done met safety regulations.

"There was no shoring," Rhodes said, referring to either wooden planks or steel plates used to hold back the earth while digging trenches.

7) "I just have to move that one out into the light, just a little bit more... oops! there it goes... Right into the intake. {expletive}!!!!!

6) You wake up, look at the tank, and decide: "I'll move that rock 1/4" that way." Then you think, "I'll just spin this one around a little bit..." Two hours later, all of your live rock is in a bucket. Two more hours pass, and your live rock is right back the way it started, and you missed all your classes for the day!

5) Because yesterday my ph was 8.1. After "adjusting" my calcium reactor, it's 7.0 - and I wonder why my fish are having trouble breathing.

4) I wanted to save money by heating my 240-gallon reef with a natural gas water heater (to save about $25 per month)... and that ended up costing around $2000 in damages from using the wrong type of PEX-to-PVC fitting. Ouch!

3) Re-aquascaping translated into reefing terms means death and destruction will come: Dropping a large rock and breaking the glass on the bottom of your tank. True story.

2) Because I wanted to move one small piece of rock and I ended up having to cancel my Valentine's Day dinner with my wife to re-do my entire rockscape. A month later and I still haven't lived that one down, if you know what I mean.

1) A couple of years ago, I had an idea that it would be nice to one day have a reef aquarium. Looking at the last six months of my credit card statements, I should have just left it the way it was.

Features & Benefits tank type gas water heater:
Is best told in a short story.
Last week my good friend and Pastor was complaining about the cost of replacing his 8 year old 50 gallon gas water heater. Complete job $850.00. So we did some math...
8 years x 365 days = 2920 days $850 divided by 2920 days = $0.30 per day for dutiful appliance service whether you use it or not. Of course add the cost of natural gas necessary to maintain 50 gallons of water at a ready to use temperature of 115 degrees.

Now do some math with the $4000 wide screen TV or $45,000 SUV at less than 5 years service. The tank type gas water heater has always been an affordable appliance when installed correctly with the right application.
