That's what I'm guessing as well... it's going to be a VERY large bill... three different companies involved so far.

And I'm guessing some logging company is paying for all those people standing around trying to figure it out.

    I don’t do aerial anymore, all underground.  But back in the day I
    built miles of aerial by my self.  It is doable.

    People ask why I don’t do fiber. The following story pretty much
    sums it up. For those doing fiber, how do you do it with a 2 or 3
    man team?  We’d be run ragged.  How do you stay sain?





    Someone was logging up in Ogdensburg near Joe Hill and took a tree
    down which took another tree down which took another tree down
    which snapped off the side arms of the utility pole taking out the
    powerlines which burned the fiber underneath it.


    Last night about 11 o’clock I drove up there on my way home and
    found the Crown Castle guys trying to figure out where the fiber
    damage was, I talk to them for a moment and they were like yeah
    it’s like 2500 feet away from here but we can’t figure out where
    the fiber goes, I said follow me, so they got over there and
    started work.


    Zito was already over there fixing their fiber with about 10 guys
    and five trucks.


    I just spun back up there and as of this morning they (both
    companies) are still trying to figure out why the fiber is not
    working.


    Add to this the utility easement is on the side of a mountain and
    not right beside the road. These guys had entire teams and haven’t
    fixed 1,500ft of fiber in 12 hours plus had to wait nearly 7hrs to
    even access the local due to power lines down.
