    so as you can see they are leveling the lot next to my house, the guy goes to the top of the 2-1 sloop so he can bring the lot level down so they can build the house on a level .....
    Well need less to say he hooked the cable line running overhead and just went on down pulling it and snaping my power pole in 3 (three) pieces!!! OUT GOES THE POWER ,, NO AC!!!

    well come to fine out he not only snapped my pole in three but he cracked the next pole down the line, so total of 2 poles down and they have to replace them both

    so there were about 12 -13 power, cable turcks all around the property most of the day

    so talkin to the guys from the elec co. and he says kind of an costly little error to the total of about ten grand per pole, not encluding the cable co. and telephone co. bills for repairing their stuff, its about 8:30pm and the cable guys are out there right now running new coax ...
    I felt sorry for the dude so when he was done for the day he and his partner were sittin in the bucket of the loader talkin and I brought them over a 12 of coors light.
    He is one lucky dude that the power line didnt fall on his tractor since it was on steel tracks and no rubber he could have gotten really hurt.
    Just glad its all fixed and my power is back on and no one got hurt...
    another great day in Havasu....
