A Lineman’s View ~ Energized Pole Replacements

A little breezy but not a bad day for changing out some poles energized. We keep the main line energized and spread it out to the Hot Arms. then we set the new pole right up through the middle. Then transfer the wire up to the new pole and get rid of the old one. Installing my taller poles to give better clearance over the highway for the electric service drops and phone and internet. There is a ton of semi truck traffic on this highway. Truck loads of carrotsc, potatoes and apples just kept rolling by all day long. One farmer told me that they harvested 126 ton of carrots out of their fields this year!!! WOW, that’s impressive.
