[QUOTE="CUZ, post: 462091, member: 4301"] Since I raised the question the news has gotten a lot better. The engineer came out and looked over the site. When he got down to the old house he noticed the only remaining pole from the old line still had the transformer on it. He said since we had power down there before he might be able to do something for us. About a week went by before he called again, but the wait was well worth it. He said they'd rerun the line down to within a 100 feet of the old transformer pole for [b]nothing[/b]. Engineer and another guy (pole placement spot picker?) came out yesterday and sited where the poles will go. We've got to cut a few trees, trim back a few others, get an electrician to put up [i]our[/i] pole for the transformer, give them a call and they'll come run us a line. I asked if they'd just use the old transformer. He laughed and said he'd be afraid it'd blow up if they tried to hook to it. Of course we've got a brush pile directly beside where one of the poles is going to go. So we'll have to either get it burned or move it, but that's just a minor deal, compared to saving $5 k.
