Gwinnett had plenty of slick roads and cars in the ditches. Gonna freeze again tonight!

Killer shot of that transmission line structure...very nice.

Amazing the strength of the in-ground set with the wires making a vector.


For sure.  That is a double circuit line... 2 sets of three phase.  lots of tension on that angle.  That steel pole is bolted to a concrete/rebar footing that is probably 15 to 25 foot deep.
Didn’t even notice the structure!

Amazing how we notice the things. I did home inspections for many years and it’s been a nuisance since retiring. Always finding faults in everything I see.

I forget you live right around the corner from me. That is actually the opposite view of the picture I posted earlier.

I passed you yesterday on dacula rd right as they shut it down and made everyone do a u turn. Roads were rough in the am but got better as the day progressed. Ended up taking about 3.5 hours to get from braselton to Stone Mountain to get paperwork. Had a couple managers stuck in ditches we had to pull out. Fun day to DD a jeep. Lol

Haha, I missed you. Dacula Rd was sh't yesterday! There's a pretty good size "s" with a drop off between my house and Kroger that is still shaded and pretty icy @Chris36l
