OT - Guy Wire Length

It is frequently hard to tell, even with the winking smiley face. You are a pretty serious guy. ;-)

Down the hill from me is a group of about 20 houses and all the wires are underground. I chuckle after a storm and see it dark. The substation is about 2 miles away and all above wires and poles to their feed.

a safety hazard. We have called PG&E, and they have agreed to come out an d look at the problem. We have suggested to them, that a guy pole would so lve the issue, but the pole would need to be mounted about 60 ft away. Doe s anybody know if there is a maximum length that a guy wire can be? Any he lp appreciated.

like to keep

utility poles

Thanks for the explanation. I worked for a Polish co. & have a Polish wife so that was beaten out of my head.

From responding to so many fire calls pole means several different things.

Beside my head ain't bolted on properly...

Hydrants are usually painted by the local water supplier to indicate flows and threads to the fire co.

As discussed before (ad nauseam) speed limits are determined by the roadway engineers, access points, etc and the 85% rule.

Wait...you used a winking smiley face. I can't tell if you're being serious about me being serious or if you are seriously not being seriously serious.

Damn! Now my head hurts.

I have a feeling that I have aged a bit more than you realize.

Roadway engineers my ass!

For a given road, every speed has a level of risk. The faster you go, the higher the risk. The slower you go, the lower the risk.

If we can save just one life, isn't it worth it. LOL

texting motorists on the road next to the sidewalk would make me uncomfort able though.

mph was safe but you'll get a spankin' if you drive 80 mph?

Or is this a "safety hazard" in your mind?

e higher the risk. The slower you go, the lower the risk.

It's for the kids...

Try looking where you're going instead of blaming others.

They're support wires, not conductors. Since they're metal and go into the ground, they cannot possibly have a voltage.
