They put in one of the new poles today. I guess everything went ok. My wife was able to get the HF generator running and got moms Oxygen generator up. Were out of power for 5 hrs.
But I still do not understand the reasoning behind this. They removed the old pole. Put in a much larger and taller one in it's place. Then they installed another shorter pole right next to the new big one.
My old pole had a 1958 date nail on it. the new short one has a 1955 date nail on it. Why pull up a 1955 pole to install it somewhere else then cut the top off vs burring the old existing pole deeper?
And the pole on the hill is not the one the guy was really worried about. He said the one in my yard was too shallow. The one they replaced was 30ft tall and buried 6 ft according to the dirt on it.
My wife somehow managed to block out the new pole with the old one in this pic she took.
