[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1708278, member: 498"] The power company has been replacing old power poles. Actually a contractor for the power company. There is three poles in my west field which all needed replacement. I went out there when they were doing the last pole. I knew the fence was in front of the old pole. I said to one of men the fence has to be right about there (it is all grown up in willows). He said it is back behind there. I went back later. Four strands of cut off wire sticking out of the brush both sides of the pole. hmmmmm Well I need to work on a gate a short distance away and no critters in that field. So I figured I would do the patch and didn't say anything. Fast forward a week or so. They were replacing a couple up on a rocky ridge. They had to go through a fence to get there. After they were done and all pulled out I went up to check. Sure enough they had to cut the fence to get through and never repaired it. I found the boss and complained. I went and check again today. They had fixed it. They used that heavy gauge copper wire they use for ground wire to patch my old ancient barb wire. Their patch will out live the fence. [/QUOTE]
