On January 2nd the guys from Wellsboro Electric Company stopped by to tell us they were going to shovel off part of our front yard because the next day they were going to replace our electric pole. We thought perhaps that was going to happen sometime in the near future, as the gas company had been along several weeks ago and put up yellow flag indicating where the gas lines were.
On the 3rd of January the Electric Company arrived a little after 8:00 am and laid down sheets of plywood on the yard,where they had shoveled the snow from, and drove their trucks down into the yard and left the new post and began the work on disconnecting the wires from the old pole, digging the six foot deep hole for the new pole, implanting the new pole and connecting the wires to the new pole. This all took four hours to complete. We were amazed at the precision this task was completed in. They kept us very well informed, in fact it did not take them as long as they anticipated. A portion of the old pole is still there, as the local television cable company has to remove their cable as does the telephone company, then the rest of the pole can be removed.
