The Allure of Power

Ahhhh, enough electricity…. finally.  Since we started the build-out of the studio, we have been working with the local power provider on a solution for our electrical needs.  First there was the size of the meter, then the location of the panels, and finally, the realization that there is simply not enough power on the existing utility pole to supply our equipment.  After a bit of back-and-forth, they agreed to set a new pole and supply a new meter on their dime!  Presto, new transformers and a green tag from the city!  We start hooking up equipment tomorrow. Check out this process….

The process begins with about 18 guys coming out to spray paint your driveway...

These guys show up with what is essentially a mobile water jet to dig the hole… 2 weeks later...

... one really deep hole....

These guys come and set a pole.... 1 week later...

And on the 5th week, they hang some transformers!

... now these actually mean something : )
