[BC] Electrical Code

[JYRussell@academicplanet.com]

Heck, 'round here... the county follows up on that with the boom mounted 
shredders, and could really care less if they DO pull down your fences.  If 
you ain't home to watch... some of the operators shove over fences on 
purpose!  Easements mean NOTHIN in this county.

   And even if youDO put in a fence with plenty of room to completely drive 
a bucket truck around the power poles ... way inside your OWN easement... 
the power company will eventually put up new poles, and when they do they 
WILL put them INTO YOUR FENCE LINE.
WHY????

  they even ruined a brand new h-frame, with 10" posts, set 40' from the 
center of the road, 15' into our property, with the std. 25' easment still 
in place.  Just pulled up the H frame, plugged in a new power pole, and 
wired the fence to it!  Yes, the power co. !

   WHY????
