Hello, Does anyone know if electrical junction boxes for poles were place in the ground back in 2001 or if there is just a continuous run of wire and electricians can tie into that wire at any location? I'm just wondering if the pole locations are set in stone given the wiring, or if they can easily be moved to optimal locations (which may or may not be represented in the current plan).
Thanks.
