One of the concrete trucks working on the new school clipped the power line with his chute. It brought down the power pole sitting on the fence line between us and the neighbors. Fortunately they did not turn the power off until I finished my 3 mile walk on the treadmill. If they had, I would have gone ass over tea kettle! I have to admit, they were the power company and cable company were quick to respond. Idaho Power had a new pole in place and power restored in about 4 hours. Cableone will be back out today to do their part. We had one casualty, my little Japanese Maple had half of it's limbs broken off when the cable fell on it. I feel so bad, it was just getting beautiful after I thought it was dead and I was getting ready to pull it out. I'm sure it will recover minus some very prominent limbs.
Now that's teamwork.

I love it! I'm so glad they were so quick. Can't be going without power. Good pics too. Wonder if that guy thought you were nuts?
See everyone makes mistakes. But it takes a good team to get it straight!
