Yeah we're on Wake. Power just came back on for us, so out maybe 2 hours? I will say we have had more outages here than our old house on Duke, but the restoration time has been way better.

Best saw I have ever had. 2 pull and starts every time. I have had it at least 35 years, and I bought it used. Rebuilt twice. Made in West Germany.

Is it in Raleigh? Go see the yellow front truck display in person. I did all the heavy fab and Assembly. The rest of the team did paint. The partnering group installed the lights and stripes.

Company has two brush units and a Polaris on display too. I did most of the fab on the Dodge. With the exception of the flat bed and the pull out rear tray shell, shelves, and wiring I had a hand in everything.
 
Yeah AES hijacked it for the expo. I think they wanted our new engine too, but I don't think it went. I've never been to the expo and probably won't make it this year, but if I do I'll check it out!

Man I wanted to go this year. Dept offered to pay for me to, but the tower crane on my site is coming down this weekend so I've been loading in materials all week and couldn't get off. Maybe next year...
 
For the threads name sake....more pictures sent to me from folks attending.

The ones that don’t meet spec get set to the side and we burn em about every quarter. Also scrap cardboard and “other” stuff too lol

As long as you let the Forest Ranger know. Don't need any more Forest Fires! 🤞

I'm real close to Downtown Mount Holly. Never had much of a power problem. Back in the Spring Duke/Dominion had contract crews up-grading my whole area, new poles & all! My power went off twice early this morning, height of the wind I guess. But it was only off for a couple minutes each time. I guess it was re-routing, or doing whatever the New stuff is!
 
Mother nature tested my road yesterday. My creek crossing has a 3' pipe but it wasn't enough and acted like a dam. Water worked it's way around and filled up the low lying area between my driveway and the road until it finally spilled over in the low spot of the drive. There are 2 24" pipes farther down that were relieving water from that side also and still couldn't keep up. Minimal loss of gravel and everything held up really well.
