For those of you who are not familiar with me. Im the Butt. ive been living here in Guatemala with my wife and kids for the last 14 years. We have a little spot at the shores of Lake Atitlan. Its a volcanic crator formed a fuck ton of years ago.
Everything you see in this video happened on Thursday the 20th of July 2023. This is about the cutting down of an electical pole.
Many years ago i put in a complaint with the local electric company called Energuate. Like in most countries, energuate is a monopoly, there is no other company that you can choose if you dont like their electical service.
Solar is possible..but very upfront pricey. So if you want the lights on here at the lake...it Energuate. Well these fuckers had a tall wooden electical pole inside of my property.
It had so many wires on it that it started to tilt sideways, Kinda like the leaning tower of Pisa, only underneath this pole was a hostel Dorm with 10 beds in it.
Not ideal. So i put in a queja. (complaint) A year later i put in another. A year after that i sent a legal letter that i had given 2 registered complaints and that if it fell on my building energuate would be held accountable.. a year later i sent the same letter.
4 years after i started... with zero warning a truck arrived, and a giant metal pole was installed in the street. The wires from the wooden electical pole inside of my property were all switched to the new metal pole.
And then the Energuate truck just drove off, and they said the pole was mine to take care of.
mudda fuggers....lol...well atleast they did it 🤦♂️
So after another 4 years of looking at this slanted pole, hovering over the dorm building....finally today with the aide of many local mayan...we removed and cleared the dumb electical pole.
have a watch if you like tall electical poles getting chainsawed down 🤪
