Power company workers earning their paychecks.

 They had to replace 3 rotting power poles in the neighborhood here this week.  What an operation!

(pics are in reverse order, start at the bottom.)


Yesterday's replacement.  Power was off for a little over 3 hours.  Amazing.

Swinging a bag of gravel to backfill the pole.

Crane moved down a bit for the second pole.

Linemen had to climb and had a tracked bucket truck that fit through gates.

Ground wire with the lockout/tagout.

The trucks have everything!  All kinds of fasteners and rigging.

Any guesses on what the digger truck costs?

The crane is $1.2 million dollars and can lift just under 5,000 pounds at the tip.

Never seen a folding, mobile, tower crane before!

Crane!
