We already had the pole. They replaced a boatload of poles that had been in 3 years after being replaced in an ice storm. They upgraded to composite poles along a new stretch of Hwy 30 they are building here. The pole was set for the cost of 2 guys and a truck for 2 hours. Anecdotally, the pole is planted in the farm yard of the foreman of that crew. My deal is with him.
