The ways of blogger are strange.]<br /><br />I suppose if the repairman <i>had</i> been scheduled for then the transformer would have blown up while he was there?<br /><br />The time my transformer at the old house blew up I definitely heard it--it was only fifty feet from the house (and I wasn't listening to a lot of cheering from the television.) Luckily for me it was summer, and not even hot enough for me to miss the ceiling fans before they got it fixed. <br /><br />That transformer led only to my house and my uphill neighbor, but there were about five other houses on a line that was separate from most of the houses on that road. When I would call in an outage they'd ask me if it was the [I can't remember] line and I'd say "Yes" and they'd say the truck would be there in about half an hour. I love my co-op.<br /><br />Mary Anne in Kentucky<br /><br />[WV: "nartic": abbreviation for inarticulate.solarityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03606487180967915130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329622951839766826.post-48001639483514891882010-02-27T09:50:09.677-07:002010-02-27T09:50:09.677-07:00BG - I love living in the country.... most of the ...BG - I love living in the country.... most of the time!<br /><br />Messymimi - yeah, some sense of humour!<br /><br />Charlotte - I was pretty happy to have the power back on so I could turn the lights off before I went to bed.......<br /><br />Gail - CANADA!!!

Like Cammie Granato commented (having been there herself at one time) they are disappointed now, but in a few weeks time they'll come to appreciate the silver and all their hardwork getting there.<br /><br />We had a transformer blow up in our backyard once - it was frighteningly loud.
