On whether a pole or crossarm is straight “A man on a galloping horse will never notice it”
You have all heard this one, " There are old linemen and bold linemen, but there are no old bold linemen"
To tamp a pole in good, “it takes one lazy shoveler and two good tampers”
An old foreman who said about building things right, he would say, “You’re not just setting poles, you’re building monuments, they will be here for 50 yrs. Do it right”
He also would say “why do you never have time to do it right, but ya always got time to go back and do it over”
“That electricity will go through there and it don’t make a damn how it looks, just as long as the meter turns.”
“I’m not a complete idiot, some parts are missing.”
“The company is paying for two hands today, so USE them..”
