“Any idea how I can get someone to deal with this wire/ limbo bar in my backyard?”


“slightly more off the ground since I moved the branch. Tons of slack in the wire and it goes between two polls, so not to someone’s house.”

“Dear PoPville,

The Sunday night storm brought down a branch, which in turn brought down a low hanging wire. But the wire didn’t actually snap and it’s now lying across my yard and my two neighbors’ yards. It’s about neck height.

It’s a cable/phone wire.

I called 311 and they said it’s not their problem. There is no way of knowing if it is Comcast, Verizon, RCN or another provider.

Last time this happened, the cable providers I didn’t have an account with refused to do anything. my provider came out, told me it wasn’t their wire, and charged me $100.

Any idea how I can get someone to deal with this wire/ limbo bar in my backyard?”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
