On a side note my inlaws just finished building a nice home in the county. For expediency they had the power company put up a pole for the construction power and they had plans to bury the cable after the house was finished. After the fact the power company lowered the boom. 12K for them to remove the pole and 12K more to bury the cable and hook everything up again. My in law could have buried the conduit himself and taken down the pole after it was disconnected. All the power company had to do was disconnect the pole and pull cable through the conduit but the power company would have none of that. They responded that if anyone other than them removes the pole there would be major fines and possible jail time. What a racket. So far the power line from the road to the house has been hit with trees twice and it has only been up about 3 years.
