Last fall a contractor for the phone co. plowed in fiber optic lines in our rural area.
The first photo is of the plow.
In the second photo they used a backhoe to dig from my shop to where they had to cross a 15KV underground 3-phase line, then hand-dug over the line, and are getting ready to drop in the plow on the other side of the line.
In the third photo, they are plowing in a road ditch in water and cattails.
A few hundred beyond there they cut a single-phase line branching off from the 3-phase line, tripping out the 3-phase line, cutting off power to our grain subterminal about 5 miles away. The original plan was to plow the wire in on the south side of the road, and the line was marked there, but at the last minute they chose to plow on the north side, instead. There were a LOT of unhappy folks that day! A couple of friends that work for the power co-op said there were never so glad to have a crew get done and pack up and leave, think they cut 4 or 5 more power lines!

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
