The past 48 hours have been a wild turn of events in the BuddyRoeaux household. I’ve help cut 5 family/friends tress downed in their yard and assisted with clean up. Nothing pales into comparison on how we helped these gentlemen from Pike electric out of FL.
.
Assisted 4 crews along the ponchitolawa river by bringing them supplies and giving them a stable platform to work on with the mud boat.
With our help, what a 2 day job was broken down into 12 hours. They have showed a different level of class and view of execution to complete task like no crew I’ve ever seen. Please give a big thank you and a round of applause to any lineman you meet. They go through a ton of adversity. 3 of the four crews had to wade through chest high water and use a 10 ft flat boat with paddles to move equipment until we seen they were needing assistance.

Great post!
Most people don’t realize the kinds of bs power and telco lineman have to deal with to bring them the things they take for granted every day. Lots of times that electricity that goes to light up your pantry so you can eat your ding dongs in the middle of the night runs on lines that go through the sloppiest, hottest, wettest, most foul, bug and reptile infested wilderness you can think of, and sometimes worse.
When you get pissed when there’s a line truck blocking the road when you’re trying to pick up Jaxxyn from daycare, while they’re stretched over a drainage ditch 25 ff in the air getting blown around by the wind and baking in the sun remember that those are the easy jobs.
