It’s Dahlia Time Again

You didn’t think I was done with the Dahlias, did you? It’s been over a week, so time to hit these beauties once again. It takes my mind off the crappy weather and agonizingly slow progress on our house.

The electrician was back at the house this week, installing the panels. We’re hoping to have power soon, as it’s not going to warm up and the interior of the house needs to be warm to spray foam insulation.

The big delay has been the ongoing conversation with the utility company about getting the hideous transformer, located on a pole ten feet from the house, dropped to a box on the ground. It currently dominates the view from my west facing photo studio window.

Ideally, we’d like to have the transformer closer to the street, but even if it’s just dropped straight down it won’t be visible from inside the house, as we don’t have any windows in that corner on the ground floor. Fingers crossed it comes down soon.
