Hi Dan ,
Sorry to hear about the pole/eyesore but be prepared for it to be there a while, potentially it could be there until the utility companies get there act together and get in to connect the mains supply, I was over in jardines 4 phase 1 in october and there were cables and water pipes in the surrounding gardens , we completed in june so thats 4 months minimum, sorry ,
On a lighter thought , xmas is coming and in a week or two and thats all any one of us will be thinking about , until we pass out from consuming too much sherry / wine / cough mixture / methelated spirits sorry got carried away there.
