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 FridayAll Seasons and Tom's signs.

Work is always needed.

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

What a responsible company!

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.

That's a tall ladder they are using!

Looks like you have a nice sized front yard.
