Cool


I would love to see the face of the guy that gets sent to remove this lamp post.

I have seen wood telephone poles get built around before.

I doubt it is allowed anywhere.


But sometimes a construction schedule is faster than you can get power / telephone companies municipalities to act.

That is why I have seen this happen with wood tel poles.

I have never seen poles end up in balconies but I have seen the walls built up against or around existing poles.


When it is a job with time limits (penalties to the contractor delaying the job) this is what happens.

We did an addition on a large department store and due to the power company not providing the new service the original outdoor pad mount transformer was built around and ended up inside the building for a few months.

Not a good thing to have an oil filled 13,000 volt transformer inside but the AHJ was OK with it.

Can’t you just see one of the tenants tapping into that post and running all of their electrical services from it?


After all, the cost of electricity is rising. Why not let the municipality pay for awhile?

Balconies look like either pre-cast concrete or maybe a welded steel box set up. Third floor balcony is over the pole bend. Pole was there first.


Not allowed to move the pole, no problem build around it

That’s got to be Europe, and it’s probably acceptable over there

Actually it appears to come from the other Europe above.

Yes I was thinking of a building but this picture is common too.

This could have been route 6 in Seekonk MA for about 6 months, The power company, the cable company, Municipal Fire alarm all got off the poles. The telephone company did not, so you had a long row of poles in the travel lane of a state highway.

For those that went to the Seekonk meeting this would have been near the Home Depot.

I knew this would turn into an interesting thread!


Paul, That surely isn't in Orangeville is it?

And that house brings a new meaning to "Contemporary Housing"

How would you like to be sitting in front of one those windows after a few pops?
