The truck that will deliver the sea container needs 13'6" of vertical clearance, and,the electric power supply line that runs from the
utility pole by the street to the weatherhead on the house is 13'2", and, the internet cable line is lower than that.
07DEC20/Monday: Called Coos-Curry Electric about dropping the line to accomodate the delivery and they sent an employee to the house to
assess the situation. He noted the height and said that there may be a requirement that an electrical power supply line have 14' of clearance
over a residential trafficed driveway and he would gert back to me...
Called Spectrum anout the internet cable and hey said no problem, just call the day before delivery and they would come drop the line
and call after delivery and they would come put it back up.
Later that week a Coos-Curry Electric employee to the house to assess the situation and he said the utility pole by our driveway needed
to be replaced anyway and since they would be re-doing the power lines there anyway, as a solution how did I feel about another pole being
put in on the property to re-route the line to not even be run over the driveway at all?... Works for me...
14DEC20/Monday morning: Coos-Curry Electric was there all morning putting in a new pole and re-routing the power line.

17DEC20/Thursday: it occurred to me that with the new utility pole Spectrum could save a service trip if they were to run the cable from
the utilitypole by the street to the new utility pole then to the house... not over the driveway at all... they said they would send someone
by Friday to assecc the situation...
18DEC20/Friday: stayed home all day... nobody came by... DRAT... not looking forward to a "WTF?" call on Monday...
20DEC20/Sunday afternoon: Rusl on his computer, Sharon on her computer at the bar - her back to the sliding glass door, early warning system
is going off... ARF ARF ARF... non stop... Sharon turns around to tell them to knock it off and... and there's a dude at the sliding glass
door... dude is from Spectrum... looks at the situaton and say "I'll re-route the cable right now"... pulled out some cable, got his ladder,
and in 40 minutes he was done and gone... thank you very much.
