| 1448382 | 2018-04-17 09:04:00 | Ok, so why have fallen trees caused such a lengthy outage? Not an outage. A whole bunch of them. Trees were only some of them. Council CANNOT block power line tree removal actually. And council relaxed the rules somewhat on trees too now. I'd still like mine down, but sadly I doubt I could find someone to do such a thing for $100.... |

Call me “old fashioned” but we used to do whatever necessary to restore power, (even if the repairs were only temporary) and then clean up the mess. :) |

| 1448385 | 2018-04-21 06:12:00 | A mate of mine, (who I’ve mentioned in other threads) (87yo – technically blind – living alone in his own unit, within a gated/retirement complex) has pulled something new. Now we shouldn’t laugh, but nobody was hurt in the making of this saga. I goes like this: last week he was watching TV lying back in his “You beaut Lazyboy Chair” , with his feet above his heart level, (as recommended by his Doctor), when the TV went off! Ok, as a long retired Electrician/Electronics Technician, he thought he’d investigate, but he couldn’t get out of his chair! Oh Sheet, it’s an electric Lazyboy and we’ve had a power cut! Well, he was only cast there for an hour or so and power was restored, so he made his escape, but I think about if he was a JAFA, and had to wait a week for the power to be restored, he could have been a tad hungry and thirsty. :) I have a similar chair, so I wound it right back and whilst I figure I could struggle out of it, I can fully see how a lot couldn’t. :eek: Beware all you geriatrics. ;) |
