INSTALLING POLES

Its been a while since my last update but i wanted to share my latest project of putting telophone poles. first off i got some pole kits they  were about 20 dollars but these are for R.R lines to there extal long. so i start by cutting the pole in half and saving both sides. there are three seta of cross bars that hold the wire most poles only have one so u take the other two off and u have doulbe the amount of poles. then dill a hole half way down in plywood of foam and a idea i recently started using was locomotive filler it pretty cheap and u only need a little bit to hold it down. last step get somw EZ wire and install with some crazy glue.


this is them halfway installed
