Most people have to get building permits in every county in the USA before building. Not sure how he got around this. This could have been prevented with just a little planning.

Usually phone techs are a little sharper than this guy.
His first clue should have been when the redimix truck turned into a giant welding rod.

“You would think common sense would have prevailed” Big mistake - That was so yesterday!
Today you must go on the premise that everyone you meet is an idiot with no common sense. Much safer.

I can't see how anyone working on the house when it was being built could fail to notice that slight tingling sensation every time they handled a metal object. You would think that would serve as a warning something was wrong.

Well... The power company has to have an easement for their towers. Either the home owner built his home on the easement or the power company put their tower on his property. If he's on the easement he's screwed - and stupid. The city may have some liability if the house is where it was approved to be. Now if the power company put their tower on his land - and not the easement - the power company has a problem. They're going to own the lot and the house for whatever market value is.

Zagami, who is single and whose now largely completed home sits abandoned, Most wives wouldn't have allowed this. Sometimes nagging and bitching has a purpose.

Well, he needs to turn his house into a grounded Faraday cage - i.e. tinfoil wrap it, [aluminum siding would do, if he grounds it well]. Ditto for the external doors- the surface on which the doorknobs are mounted is to be connected to the ground as well.

surveys show that National Grid actually built one transmission tower off of its easement years ago. If the power company has made the land unusable by misplacing the transmission lines then the power company is responsible for reimbursing the owners for the use of their property. Also the power company would be responsible for any persons injured by this action.

What steps did the power grid take to stop him beyond "warnings"? The home owner will prevail.

A North Attleboro man faces financial ruin because he built a new home so close to dangerous high-voltage transmission lines that fluorescent bulbs inside the house light up without even being plugged in.That would be spooky as hell!

You've got to understand this is Massholechusetts. The bureaucracy in this state will have you doing back flips over what type and size grease trap you need for a dishwash sink in a restaurant, but will turn around and give a building permit to build a house 27 feet from high voltage lines. Socialism,ain't it great !!!
