Line Maintenance


So last week on my day off I noticed these guys across the road outside our neighbour's house. Electronet is our local company who fixes power outages and does line maintenance etc. 


I'm guessing the latter is what they were doing. They weren't up there long and were gone again in about 10 minutes. I think they may have been making sure everything was ok in case we got hit by the cyclone.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday, All Seasons and Tom's signs.

They didn't cut your power at all? We've had several power outages recently while our lines are repaired. Sometimes it's only for a few minutes , on, off. Very annoying.
Hope they're strengthening your lines with all that extreme weather you're having

Thank goodness we have experts that keep the power lines going.

IF it works then maintenance is better than repairs.

Checking and making sure everything is ok is very smart.

Maintenance is a key to safety. In some places it would considered a luxury.

The overhead lines are so vulnerable in a severe wind event. In Florida, nearly all the lines were underground. Although more expensive, burying them is much more practical and economical over the long haul if part of the infrastructure plan for a new development. Here in New England we are in an old established forested rural area and are subject to power interruptions. It would be prohibitively costly to re-route them.

Love that you get a view of our gorgeous bush from your home. The West Coast has so much beautiful grandeur in its scenery :)

Doesn't look like that area got a lot of damage? Thanks for joining in #Allseasons

Very important job that is. In town most of wires are underground. But there´s plenty of people who has openair wires too. Countless of times these fellows are needed every year.

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...

Family

  Photo taken Spring 2024 in Auckland We have been invited to a family reunion in June 2026 which will be held in Auckland so I'm looking forward to catching up with relatives that I haven't seen in over 10 years.  This week we have: Had a good chat with a friend who has also adopted a rescue dog - must arrange a play date. I've bought some non alcoholic liqueurs to mix up for mocktails which have been very nice as I don't really drink. We had a massive wind storm 2 days ago, we were ok but a good friend who lives 20 minutes away had a bolt of lightning strike her house, the result was a blown up power box inside and part of her kitchen got burned, she had to call out the fire brigade to put it out. And I have a question for you; when you add your blog post to a blog meme or a blog link up, do you expect the owner of that blog to at least come back and comment on the other blogs that have linked up to it including yours even if it's only occasionally?  I actually th...

Hail

Image
  Spring is throwing out some strange weather right now. We don't get snow where we live but it is visible on some of the mountains around us over Winter. Last week around 4.30am we had a very loud thunderstorm with hail. It wasn't until an hour or so later my daughter said this is what she saw out on our deck.  Clumps of hail all over the deck and on her hand. Apparently various other suburbs around town got it too. Linking up with  Through my lens ,  Tuesday Treasures ,  My corner of the world ,  Wordless Wednesday .
