The Hole

The guys from Pike Electrical Contractors showed up about 8:30 Wednesday morning. We had a power outage about a week ago, and they were here to fix it.  They hooked up a machine that sent a 20,000 volt pulse through the line to find where the problem was. I have no idea how this works, but they stood in our front yard and marked a spot with spray paint. They unloaded a small digging machine and began to dig. 



They found the line and cut it and then spliced it back together. I think that the insulation had been breached somehow. The splice, along with the sleeve, was the cure. The two men worked well as a team, and finished up in about an hour and a half.




This is the machine that sent the pulse.


Finishing up.

Loading up

Getting ready to leave.
They returned about thirty minutes later with seed and hay to reseed the area. They did a fine job.
