Day 168 - Watch the Power Company Replace a Pole

“Nothing alive can stand still, it goes forward or back. Life is interesting only as long as it is a process of growth; or, to put it another way, we can only grow as long as we are interested.” 
― Eleanor Roosevelt


Watched the Power company replace a power pole today.  Those guys have to have strong arms.  They hold them up or out for hours.  And the patience to take down the power lines with the long poles they have to use…I would get so frustrated.

It was pretty amazing to see a pole assembled, installed in the ground and then to see how they move the lines and cut down the old pole.  One part of an old pole fell and got snagged on another power line… SCARRY for me.  Those guys acted like it wasn't too big a deal.

You would have to be patient and calm to do this job!
