Yes, this is true, even having a presence, and all the verbal discussion, can sometimes just amount to nothing, and it's a shame but it ain't far from the truth, and I'd tell you straight up I'd have been probably close to being locked up from pushing all there junk into a hole with the old D7! To even consider going to an extreme like that is beyond me, and I know much better, but there is a time and place for everything, just cannot imagine being pushed around like that, it does really irk one to become almost irrational, still best to keep a level head as it's the only way you can stand your ground.
The situation with your road and those kind of dealings with these people is sad state of affairs, and I think we've gone astray a bit here but probably fine to share experiences, landowner issues and rights sure seems to fire us up though !
It just makes you think, well no permission would be granted until the power company designed the road, provided plans, specifications, and contract documents were provided, agreeable to both parties, prior to execution and or performance of any and all work on site, including providing insurance etc. Well, you get the drift, everything by the book, in writing or there will be a dispute from the onset.
They had to build a road here, just improved our old farm road, but I did the layout and I cut the trees myself, left what I wanted to stay and worked right along side there earth work crew, they were told up front to take care of the land owner, extra crushed stone was brought in and the material they were required to take out after the job was done was also given to us and my neighbor the farmer.
It may have been due to the close proximity to the wetland, as to why they were so professional but even at the very end, there was a guy showing up to inspect the seeded areas to make sure it was taking root and growing. It was funny that one day equipment just showed up and no one had spoken to me yet, I made sure that nothing was going to take place until the right of way agent came to the site with all the documents in hand for review, they honestly kept their word, kind of shocking, and I can tell you had I even got the slightest feeling they were going to steamroll us here, I'd have made sure they would have regretted stepping foot on our property.
I think it was fortunate that everyone involved kept there word and contributed to doing a good job, having been in the construction industry my entire life, I know this not to be the case and what you described shows the complete opposite, which makes a good point about taking every precaution up front, sad but true, talk is cheap.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
