Found The Last Two Poles.... Finally

I never thought it would be so hard to find 2 lousy utility poles! I guess I got lucky with the first 6... It took me 2 months of searching Craigs List, eBay, etc... with no results (except the folks that brought me out a couple of rotten poles that had been used for a dock, hehe) Finally found that a local lumber yard could order some from up north at a slightly exorbitant cost, but I was getting desperate by now........

Then one day I was rolling down the sandy road and there was a new neighbor from down the road. I stopped to say hi....said I lived over at the Pole House. He did a double take and said "well if you ever need any more just let me know"......turns out he had a special line on 'em....boy was I glad to meet him, I ended up with enough poles to finish the house, build an attached screen porch, and build several structures at our ranch house closer to town.
