This morning my doorbell rang.  I actually wasn’t expecting anyone so I was rather surprised to see a Hispanic man wearing heavy duty clothing.  When I asked what I could do for him, he replied that he was with Oncor and needed access to my backyard to trim some of the trees and shrubs that were touching the power lines.  Having seen the previous “Chop” jobs that Oncor had done at other homes in the past, I decided to watch over this.  Unfortunately, I couldn’t be there ever second.  Let’s just say, the photo you see was the “after!”  Adding insult to injury, I did ask them to please trim the branches that were falling over the fence hoping that at the very least, there would be a uniform look, but was told that they could only cut the ones that were shooting up toward the power lines.  Now, I will have to pay someone else to come in and clean up the mess that Oncor caused.

Thanks Oncor!
