Thanks for that. It's hard to find real "evidence" out there. I read somewhere that long-term exposure is around 7-10 years, at least, or more. We really don't plan on being here that long and i was going to plant some nice big trees in the path to maybe help out.

Unfortunately, we were kind of in a pickle with my husband not being able to be on the mortgage. We were in kind of a crummy location for anything in our price range and ended up looking at 42 homes in person. This house was by far the best when it came to location, age, state, and amount of money we'd have to put into it (virtually none). Then we realized the power lines afterwards. It's a fantastic house for sure, but, yeah....that part sucks. Most all the houses had the lines, too, even if we were way out (not many underground lines here). Or we couldn't afford a place in areas that were far enough out. It's still smaller than we would have liked but it is just enough space (we have a lot of stuff including a home gym i would refuse to get rid of). So, our own fault, but i feel like we were pretty much cornered into getting the house in the sense that there were no other places that were more suitable. But we're not going to live here forever, so that's the comfort and then we'll both be able to participate with the morgage and we'll be FAR away from those kinds of things.

Interesting. I would much rather this be true than trying to worry about what is at my house -- i mean, i could buy some jewelry or something, but what is that really going to do?

My Uncle: "Flouride takes down your IQ 10 points!" also "We aren't allowed to go back to the moon because the moon people told us we weren't welcome!" so, you know.

He said there are pictures and "evidence". I'm too afraid to ask him since it'll be a four hour conversation, but it may be worth it.

Also, there are people in the center of the earth. They use the heat from the core to heat their world and live for thousands of years and have grapes the size of beach balls. He wanted to go on a voyage to find the sinkhole but he didn't have enough money.

YOU CANT MAKE THIS UP

I have yet to determine this, as i would also like to know the answer. If i find out, i will report back with scientific findings.

Dang, i wish i could get the city to put those up.

Haha, my entire house. Brilliant. I could call and ask, i guess it wouldn't hurt. They aren't completely unreasonable, they even calle dme back with the output of all their products (including street lamps!), but we'll see.

This sounds like a pretty good idea, thank you for that. I considered just getting some blocking window stuff for that side of the house that faces the lines (just two french doors), so that's still an option that won't require major commitment.

Just bought the house. Do not plan on staying here more than 6-7 years. Unfortunately this is the best situation we have. The house is great, though! Hahaha. Aww.

I'm guessing this reduces cell phone usage and wifi to...zero? Am i right?

Luckily there are very few windows in the house. Like seriously. And they're all small. It's an energy-efficient home they built and part of it is in the ground, but not a basement. So i figure i just need to worry about the french doors facing the electric poles the most.

Luckily, the rooms facing the powerlines the most are our workout rooms and the dining room which we rarely use. But it'd be nice if there were no powerlines; unfortunately that's how a lot of people get power.

Actually, we slashed tehm on the price, also. I am sure it has not much to do with the powerlines as people here really don't think that far ahead. They really wanted out because they built a new house. Either way, great starter home for everything else and i don't forsee a problem selling in the future -- but i know i want to get the crap out of here when i am able to avoid the issues.

Dang, i wish i could get the city to put those up.
