Power

I went and got one of those wheelchairs on a little detour after taking my daughter to the train station. A sign that the scrap business is booming, the chap was out again already at 8.30 am. Sammy stripped the thing down while I was busy on the computer. Drizzly rain all day. We had the electric men around for half an hour or so fixing our new line, breaker and meter. They only needed to disconnect us for about 15 minutes and we were all done. Miserable for them working in the rain, but they seemed a cheerful if slightly strange crew. I don't claim to be a genius or anything, but it does seem odd that the numbers on the new and old meter weren't made to match up. It must make for a lot of paper work, but maybe the meters are made not to be tampered with even by the crew so that no energy pilfering can take place. Anyway I noted down the numbers just in case we get a strangely exorbitant electric bill next time around. The final phase in the electric upgrade is an inspection some time later in the month. Then I will connect up the shop more permanently to the new supply.
As a break from work in the afternoon we took the bits of the chair we didn't want back to the scrap yard and picked up the other one. That too is now stripped down and we will pay another visit soon to return the unwanted bits.
