Still waiting for the driveshaft to arrive, I did get my interior handles today and installed them. I figure the shaft will come tomorrow and hope it's dropped off on the guys afternoon run when he heads home. Our power is going to be out for 6 hours for maintenance so we're getting up early and heading out of town for the morning...

Nice to know ahead of time. Here it just go out at times. Mostly they don't put money into maint., they just do repairs.

It only happens about once a year, any other times the power goes out it's usually storm related, We did have the generating station burn down once to the original foundation...lol We woke up with no power and phoned hydro to find out if the power was going to be out for awhile, they said yes until they could convert power back to the area, we had no idea about the fire until they told us...lol

That sounds pretty intense. They really need to trim trees here.

Howdy John and Steve!

The power company here has a contract with a professional tree service and once a year they trim the trees away from the power lines.

We have underground utilities in our section but the above ground utilities stop behind the houses across the street.
