[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1756542, member: 6291"] Last numbers I saw were $20K a pole. That was 10 years ago. I despise electric transmission lines. The contractors tend to be the slime of the slime. There is zero way to hold them accountable other than suing them. They are a contstant pia. A few years back we had a line come through a property we have leased. The contractor was a nightmare doing the work. They stood right in front of me a AEPs land man and said they will do what ever they want. I'll never forget, KV Power. A couple months later guess who's office they walk in to? We were laying lines all over wtx and they wanted to bid on it. When I told them no and why they got mad and went to our corporate office crying. They denied it and tried to claim it was a misunderstanding. I typed a nice email to our ceo and several VPs, along with their people. I had documented every thing that happened along with pictures, names, etc. Our ceo personally shut them down and told them we try to maintain a positive working relationship with our land owners and he did not feel they shared that same sentiment. 😄 Karma is a B...........eautiful thing.
