Western Power Update

Western Power came around yesterday to do he site inspection. They also marked out the routing and location of the dome. Bad news is that Bec talked to them and they are only scheduling to do the actual install in 2-3 weeks!!!
But got the builder to call them today and our contracts administrator was able to talk them into MAYBE installing it on Friday (originally was 9th September) - I guess if we have good weather and they get through some of their other jobs, then maybe we will get ours installed Friday. Let's wait and see (and hoping like buggery)

Western Power Update

Bec met the Western Power representatives on site today. They were doing the site inspection to see how they would run the power cable to our new dome. They marked out which side of the pole they woud run it down and how they would run it to the new dome location. They also marked out where the dome would go. Luckily this location is not under the rubbish cage that the builder has installed.
Bad news is that they have estimated 3 weeks to actually put the dome in!!! Hmmm need to talk to builder on how they are going to get around this situation as a temporary pole would likely to also take 3 weeks to put in. So let's brainstorm the options
1. See if temporary overhead pole will be quicker than 3 weeks
2. Ask the neighbour if we can run an extension cable for 3 weeks
3. Use petrol powered cement mixers
4. Use generators to power their electric mixers
5. Wait 3 weeks for the dome to be installed (on second thoughts, not an option)
