yes, those flying crimps about 18 inches out from the pole with the curly wurleys as strain relief are really something. Its one thing to get the power on quickly for the night, its another not to come back and renew the burnt off overheads at any point in the next 5 years I hope they are all TT and not PME at the end of those as there is no evidence off double crimped neutrals.

Planting a new pole alongside and transferring the harness is something that is done live on ABC round here when a pole fails and can be quite quick,

Mike.
