Yeah, near Balsam Street, Wexford.
00:02
I got a broken secondary pole.
00:04
Thirty-five footer.
00:07
It's in the woods, we can't get to it.
00:10
But I think we can move it 15 ft and set it so we can get it with a regular digger without using a flatbed.
00:18
I don't know.
00:19
They don't like it when we do that.
00:21
I don't know if you have to have somebody come look at that or what.
00:26
Um, I will have to ask around.
00:29
I'm not sure.
00:31
Well, that's just and we need a tree crew.
00:33
So number one, have tree crew get that tree off there.
00:36
It's a giant oak tree.
00:38
And then, like I said, be nice to reach in there with the digger and set it from the road.
00:43
Otherwise they're going to bring up life track.
00:47
All right, come to near Balsam Street.
00:49
Get a tree crew to remove the tree from there, and then I'll check around see if we can just place a pole 15 ft away or if we have to have someone take a look at it.
01:01
Yep.
01:02
You can send somebody up here to take a look at it, I guess.
01:04
But I know everybody's busy.
01:07
Yep, I'll see what I can do.
