Leaning Electric Pole #598

Nothing to see here.


Just your typical leaning electric pole. What a doozy! This one is being propped up by some kind of stand. Let's take a look at the base.




 Wow. Was this pole held in place by rocks? That's not very secure.


What a mess! Take a guess how they fixed this pole. First they disconnected all the wires and tossed them up into all the other electrical wires making a comfy nest for any depressed bird who has lost the will to live.


Then they laid the pole on the ground!


Lovely, eh? But we are not done here. Not by a long shot. Notice in the picture above there is an orange stripe painted around the base. It appears someone installed a brand new wooden pole in the same spot and in the same manner! 



That foundation doesn't look all that sound to me but what do I know? Well for one I know whoever fixed this pole left all the wires in a tangle and did not bother to reconnect them to the new pole.


Byootiful!
