Remove and Replace!

Oh, so much better! 

We had to wait for 2 months for the electrician to work us into his schedule, but the results were worth the wait. He was efficient, fast, and came in under budget! We could not have asked for more. 

The walls were cleaned and replastered, sanded, and painted as soon as possible! 

 The damaged electric meter and sub-panel have been replaced.

And another finish!

and if you have, thanks for reading me

Au revoir, Linda 

OH MY! (to be continued)

A lightning strike followed the main cable from the transformer on the pole across the street. Following the cable that leads to our house, finding its way through the exterior wall and directly into our electric meter. Which then exploded and burst into flame!

This is the main electrical panel in Montegut. The door frame on the left side of this photo leads to the Dining room. To the right is the Front door, with cotton drapes hanging on each side. There is a wood floor directly above the meter. Luckily the fire failed to find fuel and to maintain enough heat to expand, to our relief. So we only need to replace the meter and clean up the damage.

This panel was/is on the list of "To-Do" this summer. It is now at the top of our list!

 

We have been exceedingly fortunate not to have any damage to the property in our absence. Again, our thanks go to friends and family members who watch over Montegut!

We were unable to travel to Montegut in 2020. Our renovation list is nearing the end, at which point it becomes our Montegut Maintenace list... we are eagerly awaiting that change. Without fail, the secondary list (Monegut Maintenance) is already weaved into our current list. But with many more Orchard and Gardening tasks, which seems to grow like Topsy. 

And if you have, thanks for reading me.

Au Revoir, Linda
