This is what happens when your power company contracts an outside agency to trim trees away from powerlines.
I've seen the movie before and I just let them do their thing. We wanted the tree taken down anyway.
Then I called in my wife to do the talking. After an hour of "negotiating", they'll take the rest down tomorrow. LOL she gets it done again!

Maybe so Mike. If and when I ever move again, it will be in a place with underground utilities.

Green lawn,I thought that you still had snow on the ground!!!

Seeing tree workers in and about power lines does not give me a good feeling.

Wayne,

Working with live powerlines. I was ready for a human roman candle.

Coach,
Just need that safety line to drop a little bit more in the water. Or is that there to drag the body back out when he does fail?
