You can see one of the fellows up in the bucket moving the power cables from the old pole in back to the new pole just in front. He has already dropped the line from the mast on my house. This fall I was out doing landscape cleanup and had considered cutting the branch that was tangled in the cable coming from the pole to the mast on my house. After what one of the fellows told me I'm glad I didn't mess with it. The pole was checked and considered rotten. But even scarier, there was a johnny ball insulating the lower holding cable from the upper one - which could carry power - the man on the ground said. I don't want to end up being a statistic!
