19/08/2016(Day 4)
-Get home from work ~1540 just as a Chorus tech turns up. Ok? Say's he's here to do the install. I said I thought they weren't coming until Wednesday. Anyway not complaining! And the timing was great. 

-Install is overhead by default, I asked installer if they could run it back down the pool and through a conduit that I will install. He was happy with this until he noticed that pole was concrete and that it would have to be overhead as they were only allowed to do that for wooden poles. After a bit of a chat he said he'd contact his manager and see if we could go ahead even though the pole is concrete. Said he will call me back tonight or tomorrow. 

They would have done the install right there and then if it was to be overhead. Pretty tempting!
