              We had a new home built on property *****-*****, ****, **. While the home was being built, we lived across the road in our pole barn for nearly 9 months. We had arvig disconnect our lines at *****- 401st St and also had new lines added to *****- 401st St (pole barn)We were able to move into our new home Memorial weekend, though not everything was completely done, but requested Arvig to reconnect our lines on June 3rd, and we were to pay $775 to upgrade the fiber optics, which we did and our check was cashed. Several communications on this subject have occurred in the last 4 months. And still nothing has been done except for the surveyor out to put flags where the power lines are. We were told that within two weeks after the flags were set, they would be out. Well that timeline has way been past...We shouldn't have to continue/practically begging them to finish the job!! Please help us!
