I am scheduled to get hooked up on the 26th (Friday). The techs stopped by a few days ago to scout out the job. Due to the distance back from the road they wanted at least one pole. I'm putting in two. They almost made me reschedule but relented when I promised to have the poles in by the 26th.
I got two 2 3/8" OD x 21' sch 40 pipes from Miranda's. By digging and chipping with a small demo hammer I was able to get a hole about 12" deep in the rock. I guyed the pole up from 3 directions to get it level and keep it there while the concrete cures, then troweled the concrete in around the base of the pole. I will probably build up around the base with more rocks and concrete to get a little better support.
My neighbor was getting the run around from Hawaiian TelCom. They somehow could not find him on the map. They were able to later after he gave them my address where they were scheduled to install service in a few days.
