A Lineman’s View ~ Changing a Transformer at the City Dump ~ 1st 3speak Video


I tell you what!?! This is the second time we have had a garage truck come bombing down the hill with the rear lift gate open and tear down the secondary wire. The last time the garbage truck driver completely ripped down the pole and made a huge mess. With the transformer laying on the ground leaking oil all over the road, wire on the ground on both sides of the pole. It was a nice little mess. So to hopefully avoid this, we put in a taller pole, which raised the wire up around 5-8 feet and they still managed to rip down the secondary wire. Which in turn bent the mounting brackets on the transformer so bad it was barely hanging on. So we had to change it out so it didn’t one day just decide to fall off. As an added measure they raised the attachment point on the building another 6 feet so that this shouldn’t... I repeat shouldn’t happen again. Better yet, close down your back hatch before coming down the hill you wild garbage truck drivers. Lol

Oh BTW this is my first 3speak video. Once I found out that I could upload straight from my iPhone... game over... I am all in!!!

I hope you enjoy a Lineman’s view.
