November 18th – Power Outage!

This isn’t a normal blog entry, but I thought it would be interesting to talk about. Today, around 8:30am, there was a power outage that affected the entire area where Doug Fleenor Design is. The power didn’t come on until around 11, so between those times there was very little that everyone could do. DFD has a generator that they use for times when the power goes out, but it wasn’t working correctly. We pretty much used the time to clean the shop and do whatever phone work we could do. I attempted to help troubleshoot the generator with Doug and Milton, and it was an interesting experience. At one point Doug went down to the local hardware store to get a couple parts for the generator, and discovered that they were out of power, too. Then, once the power came back on, it was back to business as usual.
