New Tractor Shed
awemawson:
And to add to my joy it seems that the power cut continues - total loss of two phases and the third phase down to 80 volts :bugeye: (Should be 245 for our American friends who might think 115 V )
It seems that quite a bit of stuff like my internet router and most of the hubs are limping on, but the electric gate is now in override mode. Kitchen LED lights, half are working and the other aren't ! Nor is the private sewage system that continuously has a motor churning away, so legs crossed for a bit !
PekkaNF:
Loss of phase is a bugger...no motors then and the ones are on might burn (latest on next start).
Did you have a generator? And a outhouse? Must have BU!
Hope the power is sorted out ASAP.

Just had a call from UK Power Networks to say they are temporarily switching 120 customers to another HV feed - and sure enough the 80 supply went off, then back on at 230 volts :thumbup:
All PC's seem to have survived - critical ones are on UPS's - and even the sewage plant and front gate don't seem to have suffered :clap:
We have two couples in the holiday cottages and hopefully they've been oblivious to all this.
... still raining though !
Of course when they find the overhead cable fault and fix it, they will switch us back . . let's hope that flicker goes smoothly :zap:

My friend mesured 1/2" of rain on his weather station last hight hear in Ashford .

Today after the power cut excitement I'd had three small loads of hardcore in, and we now have pretty well enough, although another couple are expected tomorrow.
Well the end of a stressful day brought another Ro-Ro eight wheeler lorry full of subsoil :thumbup:
Only problem was it wouldn't slide out of the skip - just sat there. Apparently the skip was delivered yesterday, got a fair amount of water in it, and although the dug subsoil was fairly dry the bottom layer stuck fast. 'Badger' the Ro-Ro driver used every trick in his arsenal jerking the body of the skip this way and that to try and move it, but it stuck fast. Trouble is these things are far from stable side to side when in the up position :bugeye:
Fortunately Darren wasn't too far away and was able to come in and rescue the situation with his six ton excavator
Having got the Ro-Ro out of the claggy, Darren went on to spread the one load about and track it in, and sink a few beers with me :beer:
Weather looking slightly better tomorrow and a few more loads of subsoil are expected :thumbup:
