Title: Anyone good at fixing mains electric pylons?
Post by: Varche on 16 April 2011, 17:49:05

This pylon (well actually it is a 30 year old wooden pole) that serves our neck of the valley- two inhabited houses and some wells, has been like this for 18 months.

Have asked the village "mayor" to call the electric company, who understandably aren't bothered, and he just shrugs in that Iberian way as does the other householder.

We will just have to wait until a storm takes it down..................... ;D ;D ;D

Pylon of the month. Now I have finally seen everything! ;D ;D ;D

I did seriously think about some form of ties having "tournequed" it up more vertical. However when you touch the pole it actually is only supported by the electric cable so decided against it.
