I Don't know much about electrical...

I only know the sound it makes when you do it wrong

If you have Tanks, I can bring the truck out and get water

well the rest of the power burned out this morning.
We called Eaton Electric and told them our situation with the young kids and livestock. They pushed another commercial client back and came right out. We traced the line, found the fault, we dug it up, fixed the problems and now we are back in business. $440 later.

glad you got the power back! the money sucks but it could be a whole lot worse

I hope I didn't miss the answer for reading too fast but I'd be willing to bet it was aluminum wire? It's unfortunate they use that a lot for the main run between the meter and the house and it only lasts 20 years or so before something like that happens.

They use aluminum wire to save money . . . . and that was back when copper was CHEAP!! YIKES! If they ever go back to it INSIDE the home, things will be even worse. It only half works for mains because the wire size is so large.

I'm curious now...what happened to the underground line?

So you get charged for the repair ? I take it this is not a public utility service ?

[Tweety Bird]

How did they fix it? Did they have to run all new wire from the pole or did they splice it underground?
