The shed and the power.

Lex got the power on in 1987. It came from Irene and Robert Erskine's line which comes in from Tatong.
It required seven poles, two on the Erskine’s' and five on Lex's.
That meant we would need only one pole to get power to our site.
When it came to getting the power across to our site, there was a bit of a hiccup. The SEC, as it was then, would not put up a power pole if there was no building to connect the power to. In other words, they would only do it if the power was to be used.
The answer was to build a shed. We did that in 1990. A benefit of this was that we could stay in it when up here from Melbourne.
The next 'surprise' from the SEC was that the pole had to be paid for up front and that got you on the waiting list of their worksheet.
We paid in January 1991 and waited our turn.
Our power pole was delivered, March 1991.
The pole was erected 15th April 1991.
The transformer was fitted and the wire was strung across from Lex's 16th April 1991.
Next job is to organise the electrician to trench the power to the shed.Read more
