Default Poco in my way...
We have been on this job since Oct 2010. Poco has been setting new poles and running this DB cable to a race car drivers new house behind the one I am working on. They have been working for 4 months. I'm trying to get a final and need to be where they are...

First time I have seen this type of DB cable. But then again I'm just a youngster. They bored it from the street then bored 4/0 to the house.

Exactly. That stuff would not last around here. We did a temp lateral on the ground.
Had to have an electrician over night to make sure nobody got hurt and a security contractor to make sure nobody stole it.

Jimmy Johnson. He already lives in that neighborhood. Building a decent sized 3 story house. No where near as big as you would think it would be.

Boy was I wrong. What I thought was the house is the garage. The rumor is he bought several houses tore them down and will be building the inlaws a house on one of the lots.
