Interesting day.
My wife calls me out of bed, last night at 11:00, says she saw a flash and no power. I say call the power company. Hmm.... flash...
I go check our power pole to make sure Mr. Squirrel didn't fry himself. Shine the light up and looks OK. Back to bed.
Then at 12:00am she again screams up the stairs the girls cannot get up the driveway, line down. So here we go, call the power company and tell them the line is down. I go down the driveway with a car, thinking the line is down on the street. Wrong. 10 feet from the pole, a tree branch is across the driveway and the lines are down. My bad.
Tell the girls to park off the driveway, I retreat back to the house. Not messing with the tree in the dark and lines that I cannot see.
The power company shows up a few minutes later. Up goes the bucket, chain saws, back to bed I go.... power comes on shortly after, reset alarms, try to get some sleep.
I leave the house at 4AM, and stop, looking at the nice branches, blocking my driveway!
Yep, dress clothes and all as I push the stuff out of the way and off to work I go. What the heck? A leave in place policy for the power company? It's a driveway they were parked on, working on the lines. Guess they did not need to come up or down it?
More rain today, expected. Yesterday we had some in the AM. No projects happening now, until the ground dries out. We hope the rain slows because I need a few days of dry weather to move some buildings around.
