It's always best to run along the public road if you don't have an actual legal easement for the line on someone else's property, as logical as the route may seem. <br /><br />Our landline route was much longer (kilometer) and the only way to get the phone here in a timely manner was to contract with ICE to put in the poles, etc. and they wouldn't do it for less than a 10-line bundle. So, it was a good chunk of change, but we own those ten lines and have already sold 3 of the extra lines to neighbors (at cost) and probably will sell a couple more at least. I didn't feel too bad anyway as they subsidized about 80% of the cost overall, it was a big job.Casey Bahrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01638230726171327005noreply@blogger.com
