Well I had a accident today, I was in this guys junk yard where I'm buying all this stuff, moving stuff around on a skid loader and hit a transformer that was mounted in the ground, tore it up bad and BIG BANG!! This guy had stuff stacked on it and around it, NEVER told me anything about the transformer being there. The electric guy told me it was my responsibility and I would have to pay the $3000 to his company, they took my name, address and phone #. The owner told me on the phone it was my fault I should of seen it but as I said I was never told there was a live transformer in the middle of this junk, SURPRISED the HELL out of me, lucky my father in law wasn't standing right beside it or he would of been killed probably. I'm going to wait and see what happens with the bill, I may be in a lawsuit before I'm done. Anybody have any ideas??? Thanks, BAD DAY here!!! Randy
