:eek: Good HEAVENS!!!!!! How can he get away with that??!?!?!?:mad:
It's standard here.
They all do it.
It's hard to comprehend how different life is here.
It's like the 3 parcels I'm waiting for right now.
One of them is tracked so I know it's at the post office.
Been there three days now.
But the postman's probably taking time off.
Today is raining (hurray!), he won't come if it rains, and tomorrow is a non-working day.
So, we'll see what happens Monday. :rolleyes:

Those are mainly just size identity. DF = douglas fir 35' = thirty five foot pole 1938 = the year they milled the pole (not necessarily the year it was placed in the ground) That's phone poles. The power companies actually put the pole's identity (number) on each pole.

So you're the culprit, huh? Good to know. I'll be keeping my eye on you.

You are a fountain of knowledge, Yvonne!!! It actually is quite interesting. I had no idea the power company kept such precise details on the poles, but it does make sense! [emoji2]

It's hard to understand, but here it really isn't.
Once they've paid, they can do what they like, after all it's their money.
Just a different culture.

I guess that’s one way to look at it!
So, always remember t get payment in advance!!!!!! [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]
