Power Pole

My lights flicker on occasion and today when the wife and I came home they were out. Half of them, that is. I figured that one side of my service was kaput so I called NStar. After punching my lottery #s into the phone and not hearing another human voice, I just knew that I'd been blown off. Not so, got a call back and the nice young lady said that someone would be right there. Getouttahere, I thought. Five minutes later the lights come back on. 15 minutes later I hear a big deisel at the end of my drive and walk down to show the guy where I live. If I don't show ya , you won't find it. My service box tested OK, but the pole at my property line has a bad connection. It's deep in the hedges and he can't drive there. Worse yet ,it's my pole. It belongs to me, not NStar. And I own the problem, too. Now I have to find an electrician to do this. Anyone out there ever go through this before? How big a hassel am I in for?
