Looking at property with a tower and transport power lines. Somethings I read completely safe and microwave produces more emf than them. Other things say not safe to live near them. Anyone have thoughts on the subject?
Unannounced and anytime they want to. They came down mine with a helicopter pulling a string of circular saw blades going back and forth for several days and since then have come and gone at odd times of the week and month regardless of how soft the ground is with a mulching machine and made pathetic attempts at mulching the mess they made, none of which (the sawing or the mulching) was needed. Contract job. Anytime they ask me anything in the future, the answer will always be "hel naww".Brute 23":do27xlrl said:Only issue you will have to deal with is the companies coming down the lines to maintain them..

My current place has modern mono-pole towers just a few years old and they ran ground rods on all the fences and gates. No problems whatsoever. They give notice when someone may be out there. I have no problem with them or the poles. The cows use them for a wind break and for a sun block. They are big concrete poles.
Dave, watch them close when they install the line. They do a good job of smoothing out the ground when finished but do nothing to prevent erosion. Make them plant some grass or provide you with the money to do so. My wife called them once a week for about three months, a year or so after they finished to tell them the ground was eroding from them not getting the grass reestablished. They eventually sent us a sizable check to get the work done and to shut her up.
Right, started out at $700/ac now at $1200/ac, 40 year lease.Jogeephus":2fhqw79f said:I wouldn't worry about powerlines. In the future your having them on your property could be a big plus with the move toward solar. I have three properties near big powerlines and am constantly getting offers for long term rents for solar farms. Some of the offers seem almost too good to be true which is why I haven't pursued anything yet.
Is that $1,200 an acre annually?ga.prime":1gbunb91 said:Right, started out at $700/ac now at $1200/ac, 40 year lease.Jogeephus":1gbunb91 said:I wouldn't worry about powerlines.
