Have you ever wondered what it means to get an electrical switchboard upgrade? Has your central coast electrician suggested you need a switchboard upgrade due to adding a pool or renovation to your property? Perhaps the thought of updating your switchboard has crossed your mind. It is advantageous to learn more about switchboard upgrades before proceeding with one.
So, let us take a better look at a switchboard upgrade, from its definition and process to its benefits. We like to keep it simple so here’s what you should know.
What Is an Electrical Switchboard?
An electrical switchboard is the hub of your home. For your family to safely use electricity in your home, it needs to travel through overhead or underground powerlines to your home going through an electricity meter and then going to different circuits in your home.
These meters and circuits are in a box called an Electrical Switchboard.

I don't have a big following and I don't expect this to go crazy viral but wanted to get this out there. I'm in western North carolina we are more than 300 miles from the coast above 2000 ft in elevation. Hurricanes don't devestate the mountains like this, The mountains usually get some rain maybe a small bit of flooding, maybe lose power for a day 2 at most. This is unprecedented. Not to mention we had a front go through that dropped between 8-15 inches of rain before Helene even got to us. Places were already flooding and then helene dropped another 8- 15 inches of rain. My local lake rose 14 feet that's 10 foot over max capacity. Evacuation orders came at 3 and 530am morning of, to late to be of use. When we say whole towns have been washed away we aren't exaggerating at all. Whole towns are just gone. So many people are without power, internet and cell reception we still don't know anything really. There are so many missing and dead and no one can give an accurate total because we still don't know the extent of the damage. The news says 166 dead but just 1 city still has over 600 missing. As people get cell service and internet the totals will rise rapidly. You can see bodies washing down the river *multiple rivers*, through parking lots and in tops of trees. They aren't reporting it. They've brought in mobile morgue and are filling them up and not trying to identify bodies at this time. Whole towns are completely gone and many others are completely cut-off due to landslides. Bridges, roads, and driveways are either washed away or damaged so badly they cannot be used. In some places the land where the road was is gone and cannot be rebuilt. Some are covered in trees and mud and just everything to the point it's going to take weeks to clear the road enough for a car to pass through. Driveways and roads are gone and people are stranded with no way to get help, no way to get to the supply drop offs. 911 was down for days. Private citizens and fema are trying to bring in helicopters to help but there is no where for them to land in the mountains. The terrain is just too difficult and unstable. Elevation changes too quickly and nowhere to land for emergency landings. I personally know people who have been told they likely won't get running water again for at least a year. The infrastructure is gone, the reservoir that supplies the area is gone, the pipes that carried water throughout the area have been washed down the mountain and are so damaged it can't be used even if it was recovered. The electric companies can't get out to fix the power because of impassable roads. So many lines and poles are down with trees covering the lines and roads. People are being told they won't get power back on until the end of October, beginning of November. Water treatment facilities are completely underwater and shut down so there is no water either and when it does come back it'll be unusable. Stores are either out of everything or about to be. Looting has started. People are out of medical supplies and can't keep their prescriptions cold even if they had them. People on life saving equipment and oxygen are just watching their batteries run out hopelessly. Fema and military are telling people who come to help to not come and to leave. We still need the help especially in our mountain communities. WE STILL NEED HELP.

Fuck it, I added this to someone else's post but it deserves it's own.
I'm 30 minutes from Asheville, we didn't have power or water for over 11 days, we only just got it back tonight at 8:55 P.M; from the early morning of September 27th to the late evening of October 8th we were without electric, water, and means to use a bathroom.
All our freezer and refrigerated food is spoiled and stinking up the house while we try to find a way to dispose of it. Landfills are overrun and garbage trucks can't access a lot of area's. We won't be able to re-stock any amount of cold food for at least another week, and barely are able to get enough fresh food to eat day by day. Radio was the only way to hear any news and have hopes of hearing where to get supplies, because cell service was non-existent for 8 days straight.
Asheville's water system was destroyed. There is no access to water in the city, and may not be for months. 25 feet of ground was washed away, and the back-up system we put in about two years ago failed. 1,800 thousand miles of pipe needs to be re-layed. They're hopefully thinking early December, last I heard. This happened September 27th. Let that timeline sink in.
The death toll sits somewhere at 115 in Western North Carolina. They are no longer providing meaningful updates on the radio of the missing and dead, so most of us are unclear where we stand. Most widely talked about is a woman that I only know through other friends; she climbed the roof of her house with her seven year-old son and her elderly parents to escape the flood waters. The roof collapsed under them, trapping her and drowning her son and parents. After that horrifying tragedy, she waited another three hours trapped on the roof waiting to be rescued.
We're a mountain community. There was no real warning, and no one here knows how to properly prepare for a hurricane because we don't fucking get them here. My mom survived Hurricane Andrew, and as a Floridian is always 'over prepared'; if a neighbor didn't bring us water, we would have been screwed 7 days in. Even as generally prepared people, we didn't have enough resources.
We are doing our best. First responders, radio hosts, good Samaritans, Walmart employees, they are working around the clock and we know that. But the devastation is unfathomable and unprecedented. The flooding and landslides destroyed towns, homes, and lives. Some people have fled and will never return, the damage is too great.
In some area's, the electric companies are openly admitting they won't be putting up new poles because there are no homes left to give electricity to. It's simply gone.
Here's a really great local news source if you want to hear more. I'm begging everyone to be kind to everyone suffering such huge losses right now.

On 31st August 1874 The Aberdeen Tramway Company horse-drawn tramway started operating.
Initially the system opened for public traffic with seven tram cars operated by 56 horses, the trams were first built by Starbuck Car and Wagon Company of Birkenhead, but from 1883 the company turned to a local manufacturer, R & J Shinnie of Union Row, Aberdeen, who provided subsequent tramcars.
The first routes opened from North Church to Queen’s Cross and from St Nicholas to Causewayend, and extended to Mannofield in 1880, their aggregate cost of construction being £18,791, whilst, in the year ending June 1879, the passengers numbered 957,115, and the receipts amounted to £5080, at a running cost of £3959.
Aberdeen Corporation took over the company on 26th August 1898 and formed the Aberdeen Corporation Tramways the country’s most northerly municipal tramway.
Horse drawn trams were soon replaced by electric ones, the first electricity generating station in Aberdeen opened in 1894. The first electric trams ran in Aberdeen in 1899, using the standard trolley poles until 1935 when bow collectors were fitted to take power from the overhead wires; the trams were double deck and painted in a dark green and cream livery, often with the words Corporation Transport painted prominently on the sides.
In the late 1930s the city purchased 18 trams from Nottingham Corporation Tramways, which closed in 1936. Further secondhand trams were later obtained from Manchester; the last new trams for the city were built by R Y Pickering of Wishaw in 1949.
The city’s best known service was route 1, from Bridge of Don to Brdge of Dee the numbering of which is preserved by the current number 1 bus service serving the same areas; the city’s last tram operated on 3 May 1958, being replaced by diesel buses.
A short stretch of track that served as a terminus for the Sea Beach route remains alongside the Beach Boulevard where, following their final day in service, the entire fleet was burned; this remainder formerly ran right across to the former Constitution Street depot now the Science Centre, however the western end is now occupied by a hotel.
The pics shows one of the original trams, you can find more pics and info here http://www.tramwaybadgesandbuttons.com/page148/page4/page202/page202.html

I'm throwing my hat in again because I can't not ask about this one.
Maria One-shot - Au
Bumble! 🐝
I am so glad you asked.
You know I've wanted to work on writing Tommy and his relationship with Maria, so I decided I needed to delve into her a little more to truly understand how their dynamic works.
The one shot covers a lonely period while she’s mid-divorce, post child loss, and is coated in the fresh grief of losing her father.
A vulnerable chapter of her life set in my 'Living on the Edge' universe that leads up to her meeting Tommy after he left Joel behind in Boston.
I have it entirely outlined, but I've only written like five words for it.
You may have them.
-
When she'd moved home last fall under the guise of caring for her ailing father, her only living family, nothing about 'home' had felt different.
The ranch sign still swung in the wind, The power pole still leaned to the left, and the drive was still dipped and pitted from last spring's heavy rain.
She'd immediately added it to her already mile long list of things she would handle while she was here.
Get the drive graded: It falls right under fixing the powered gate that no longer opens automatically and having the power pole braced so that it doesn't fall on anybody.
It's not that difficult to shell out a little money to keep them from being sued by postal services the next time one of their vans gets stuck on their property, or a passing car gets wrecked by their fallen Electric.
Cheaper to hand over the small fortune now, than to have to settle out of court later.
She’s got the money.
But now that her father is gone, walking through the halls of the empty home feels...out of place.
Like living in a log framed mausoleum.
Silence presses in from every direction, and Maria hasn't known the oppressive weight of it since her mother had passed from breast cancer when she was twelve.
It makes her feel like a child again.
Out of control, scared, and drifting without meaning.
She's always been in control - always had purpose.
-
Not really a complete thought, I know, but I'm hoping to really dig into to what makes Maria tick.
Thanks for the ask! 🖤
@consultingzoologist an answer for you too! (I’ll still be answering your ask for Tommy introspection, promise!)

Hawaiian officials attributed the cause of catastrophic wildfires to alleged failures from the state's main power utility company and downed power lines this week after Democrats blamed the disaster on global warming.
In a lawsuit filed Thursday, the government of Maui County, Hawaii, alleged Hawaiian Electric Company (HECO) and its subsidiaries failed to properly power down live electrical equipment amid a red flag windstorm earlier this month. Due to this failure, downed power lines operated by the utility company sparked a series of deadly fires on the island, the lawsuit claimed.
"The lawsuit alleges that the Defendants acted negligently by failing to power down their electrical equipment despite a National Weather Service Red Flag Warning on August 7th," Maui County said in a release announcing its lawsuit. 
"The lawsuit further alleges HECO’s energized and downed power lines ignited dry fuel such as grass and brush, causing the fires," the announcement added. "The lawsuit also alleges failure to maintain the system and power grid, which caused the systemic failures starting three different fires on August 8th."
EXPERTS THROW COLD WATER ON DEM CLAIMS THAT HAWAII WILDFIRES CAUSED BY CLIMATE CHANGE
Maui County argued in the lawsuit that HECO has a duty "to properly maintain and repair the electric transmission lines, and other equipment including utility poles associated with their transmission of electricity, and to keep vegetation properly trimmed and maintained so as to prevent contact with overhead power lines and other electric equipment."
However, Democratic lawmakers, a top White House official and Hawaii Gov. Josh Green have all blamed the event, which has claimed the lives of at least 115 people, on human-caused global warming.
ENVIRONMENTALISTS ARE BLOCKING FOREST MANAGEMENT METHODS SAVING ICONIC SEQUOIAS AMID YOSEMITE WILDFIRE
"This is devastating. This is a climate emergency," Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., an original sponsor of the Green New Deal, wrote in a post on X on Aug. 10. "I stand in solidarity with my friends and colleagues from Hawai’i — we must act fast, provide aid, and invest in a resilient and safe future."
"Heartbreaking fires in Hawaii! Scientists are clear that climate chaos wreaking havoc on ecosystems everywhere is the new norm," Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., said in a separate post. "We need to take action immediately or else it will get even worse."
Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., who spearheaded a recent congressional investigation into Big Oil, called on President Biden to declare a "climate emergency" in response to the fires.
"My heart breaks hearing of the devastation in Maui," Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., added. "The climate crisis is here and it's killing people. It’s time for [Biden] to declare a climate emergency."
Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., joined in, saying the wildfires were a "devastating view of our planet as we fail to adequately address the climate crisis."
And White House clean energy czar John Podesta called for policies to reduce carbon emissions to fight future natural disasters like the Maui wildfires which he said were "fueled by climate change."
HAWAII WINDS TO LESSEN AS FIREFIGHTERS ATTEMPT TO CONTAIN WILDFIRES; CONDITIONS REMAIN DRY AND BREEZY
"This summer has brought one climate disaster after another, from extreme heat in Arizona and Texas and across the Southeast, to floods in Vermont and upstate New York, to thick smoke from Canadian wildfires," Podesta told reporters on Aug. 16. "And all of us have watched in horror as the Maui fires have claimed over 100 lives — the largest loss of life of a fire in the last 100 years in America."
"To stop these disasters from getting even worse, we have to cut the carbon pollution that’s driving the climate crisis, and that’s what the Inflation Reduction Act is all about," he continued.
Experts, though, have thrown cold water on claims that climate change triggered the Maui fires.  Instead, they said the event was largely a result of years of poor forest and brush management, in addition to declining agriculture. Such conditions, they said, allow fires to spread rapidly and make fires harder to contain. "Blaming this on weather and climate is misleading," said Clay Trauernicht, a University of Hawaii at Manoa professor and environmental management expert. "Hawai'i's fire problem is due to the vast areas of unmanaged, nonnative grasslands from decades of declining agriculture."
"These savannas now cover about a million acres across the main Hawaiian Islands, mostly the legacy of land clearing for plantation agriculture and ranching in the late 1800s/early 1900s," he continued. "The transformation to savanna makes the landscape way more sensitive to bad 'fire weather' — hot, dry, windy conditions. It also means we get huge buildups of fuels during rainy periods."

2024-12-02: Nebraska (Hex 2)
Utility poles run alongside the roadway, carrying electricity and telephone service to some place far removed from here.
Notable Feature: Natural Landmark
A blackened stretch of scorched prairie smolders just beyond the road. The tiny flames never fully go out and are always burning. Even rain and snowstorms can't stop the burning completely. On the rare occasions that the fire gets put out, the flames come back spontaneously after 1d6 hours.
Hidden: Little Rock of Faith Baptist Church
A small white church, scarcely large enough to contain a few dozen congregants, sits at the end of a gravel road that branches off the main highway. The pastor of the church is Brother Ray Washburn, and is originally from way down south in Arkansas. He fled to Nebraska and began a new church (named after his old home in Little Rock, Arkansas) after his previous congregation was infiltrated by a cult that was not in line with Christian teachings.
Brother Ray asks anyone headed to Arkansas if they might be willing to try to disrupt one of the supernatural sources of the cult's power. There is a jar of something that Brother Ray believes is hidden under the floorboards of Little Rock First Baptist Church. Removing the jar and destroying its contents in a fire should disrupt the cult's grip on the church.
Secret: The Woken Corpse
Years ago, an individual with powerful magic abilities was murdered and buried in an unmarked grave on the backroads of Nebraska. The grave has changed locations many times, and those who have the directions to locate the grave and the proper incantations can dig up the corpse and ask it to bring back someone who has passed away. At that point, the corpse will begin to speak and bestow a debt upon the asker. The terms of the debt vary, but in general the debt must be satisfied within a month.
If the terms are acceptable, the corpse is to be transported to a new location and buried in a fresh grave. Should the debt be satisfied in time, the asker can return to the site where the corpse was originally exhumed to find the deceased waiting for them. The returned person has no memories from after their death, appears the same age as when they died and is in good health relative to their age. They are otherwise completely normal humans.
Service Station: Floyd's
This isolated gas station is a squat cube of building with crenelations on top that give it the appearance of a castle made out of brick and weatherboard. It's got two pumps: one for gas, and one for diesel. Floyd runs the establishment, and he's a middle-aged guy with bad posture and huge coke bottle glasses who is always excited to see people come by.
Items From Other Hexes
To be added later from Hex 25. I know what hexes are linked together with quests and secrets, but exactly what is going to be shared between those hexes has yet to be determined. This will be updated later with whatever the hidden feature is.

Do you have a favorite plug/socket connector of any kind?
Hmm, favourite, not really, when I need to connect things I'm usually turning to matters of convenience, price and requirement, there's not many alternatives to, say, a u.fl antenna connector. Actually wait no I was talking about this on IRC last night, I do at least kind of have an answer, which are the GES S and 100 series of high voltage, high cycle connectors. Really all the GES high voltage stuff is fun but these are the best.
These are the family of single-pole high voltage connectors that use a long, long, LONG PTFE socket to provide safe isolation for the spicy end of an equally long PTFE sheathed plug, so that when you turn on a 50+kV source on the one side you can trust that you haven't just electrified the panel you plugged into by forming an arc. They look like this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I saw a video of these on Twitter or Fedi once and I unfortunately cannot find it because they're great, when you pull them out they leave a vacuum behind so as the tip clears it makes a loud *pop* noise. These are effectively an electrical connector on the end of a sufficiently long stick that the enormous potential you're creating between the tip and the panel can't arc back up and bite you in the ass.
The various models are rated for up to 100kV of potential, the small ones can do 30A and the big ones can do 80A. They're also rated 100k mating cycles, so you can use them when you're working with, say, high voltage machinery that might need to be disconnected and serviced regularly.
Consider that, at 80A and 100kV, you're moving 8 megawatts, which is somewhere between 5-15 % of the output of your average nuclear reactor.
They make multi-pole ones rated for more ordinary 5-12kV loads, which are much more convenient if you only have to deal with moderately high voltage connections.

How Tariffs Could Shock America’s Power System. (Wall Street Journal)
Excerpt from this Wall Street Journal story:
America’s power grid is due for some big investments. Tariffs could now make that much costlier. 
As surging power demand from places such as data centers is set to strain the system, transformers, the nuts and bolts of the power system, look particularly vulnerable. These are devices that step up or down voltages as electricity moves from power plants to homes and factories. New ones are also required every time a new source of electricity—whether wind, solar or natural gas—connects to the grid. The lack of these components can therefore hold up more power from being brought online.
The power industry has already been experiencing a shortage of transformers, for which demand is expected to jump even more in the coming years. Suppliers have been reluctant to invest large sums of capital to expand production capacity because such investments have long break-even timelines, according to a report from Wood Mackenzie.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory estimates that about 55% of in-service distribution transformer units are older than 33 years and approaching their end of life. Distribution transformer capacity might need to increase 160% to 260% by 2050 compared with 2021 levels to meet demand, according to the NREL.
So far, the Trump administration has imposed 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum, as well as a 10% across-the-board tariff on China. But more could come: The one-month pause on Trump’s proposed 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico is set to expire in early March. Meanwhile, Trump has ordered federal agencies to explore reciprocal tariffs on trading partners around the world. He has also floated tariffs on copper.
Tumblr media
Transformers could become a chokepoint. Only about 20% of transformer demand can be met by the domestic supply chain, according to Wood Mackenzie, which also estimated that transformer prices have already risen 70% to 100% since January 2020 because of inflation for raw materials such as electrical steel and copper. Steel is also an essential component of transformers, and notably, Cleveland-Cliffs is the only domestic producer of grain-oriented electrical steel for them. Assuming that Trump moves ahead with 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, and imposes tariffs on copper as well, Wood Mackenzie estimates that transformer prices could increase by an additional 8% to 9%.
Mexico, Canada and China are important sources of electrical equipment to the U.S. In 2024, China accounted for over 32% of U.S. low-voltage transformer equipment imports and Mexico accounted for 36% of high-voltage transformer imports, according to Wood Mackenzie. Canada accounted for about 16% of U.S. imports of high-voltage switchgear and 100% of imported utility poles. Utilities typically go through a lengthy process to test the reliability of transformers they are purchasing and tend to require custom specifications, so it isn’t an easy process to switch to a new supplier, notes Chris Seiple, Wood Mackenzie vice chairman.
Worth watching is whether tariffs become a tailwind for U.S. manufacturers. GE Vernova said at a conference Wednesday that it is too early to determine what the tariffs’ financial implications are for the company. It does seem less exposed for now: Chief Executive Scott Strazik said Canada, Mexico and China account for less than 5% of its imports into the U.S. The company has transformer factories in the U.S. and Europe. It also announced in January that it would invest nearly $600 million in U.S. factories and facilities over the next two years, including for gas turbines, transformers and switchgears.

Rome Airport in Italy successfully cooperates with Nanjing AE
Background:
To encourage the purchase of electric vehicles and EV charging stations, the Italian government approved a new incentive measure, which has officially come into effect in 2023. The incentive measure is part of dedicated funding for the automotive industry, with about $8.7 billion expected to be spent in the year 2023-2024 to provide subsidies for the purchase of  vehicles of low-pollution and low-emission and charging infrastructure. The introduction of this incentive measure will inject new vitality into Italian electric vehicle market.
Tumblr media
Policy subsidies:
What incentives are there for buying an electric car in Italy?
The most important new content of the electric vehicle incentives announced officially in 2023 include subsidies for the purchase of charging stations and a list of beneficiaries. For example, the long-term rental companies offer double subsidies for those whose income is below 30,000 euros .The total fiscal coverage of electric vehicle incentives in 2023 is $150 million.This move will further expand the user groups of electric vehicles and allow more people to enjoy the convenience and benefits of environmentally friendly travel.
Additionally, further donations are expected to be used to purchase and install electric vehicle charging stations. 40 million euros will be used to subsidize the installation of EV chargers. The policy aims to reduce net emissions to zero by the year 2050 and replace diesel vehicles by 2035 or earlier.
Current status of charging infrastructure:
By the end of 2022 , Italy had 36,772 EV chargers installed at 19,334 charging stations (stations or poles) and 14,048 public locations. Equally important, the output power of charging point is also growing.The number of ultra-fast charging points has been tripled, with the output power ranging from 100kW to 350kW. This improvement measures will greatly improve charging efficiency and meet the growing charging demand. 
The number of charging stations close to city centers and major cities is growing rapidly . There are more than 600 charging stations every 10 kilometers, aiming to solve the charging problem in the popularization of electric vehicles and provide users with more convenient charging services. Motorway charging points increase rapidly compared to the previous year. In one year, the number of charging stations has been quadrupled , with 64% of them having the power of 150kW or more, providing drivers with shorter charging times for long-distance journeys.
Case:
AE system (AEAUTO) signed a batch order of #120kW DC fast charging stations with Italian bus operators in the first half of this year. The EV chargers will be used for the airport internal bus fleet, buses, and luggage transport vehicles, to improve the overall operational efficiency of the airport and make it convenient for passengers. Meanwhile, this will reduce carbon emissions and provides employees with environmentally friendly and efficient charging service.
There are a lot of fleets in Rome airport in Italy. Including land transportation services and passenger and baggage transport vehicles within the airport area, which require dedicated base locations for maintenance and charging. These vehicles play a vital role in airport operations, providing indispensable support for maintaining flight operations and comfortable passenger travel. Therefore, providing efficient charging solutions for these electric ground service vehicles and employee electric vehicles is crucial for airports.

Dirty and Poor
I had little to amuse my inquisitive mind, a few homemade, wooden toys and the hammer I’d confiscated from Dad. Some children like to bang pots and pans; I loved to bang the hammer, mostly on the nails popping up from the old house’s floorboards. The noise let Mother know where I was playing. At first, I bruised my small fingers. With practice, my aim with the hammer became proficient unlike Dad’s.
There weren’t other children to play with. The yard dog, Woolie, black with curly fur, kept me company instead. The dog was so large that I could sit on its back. Together, we observed the comings and goings in our surroundings, in particular the trains passing the house. The rail motor travelled back and forth from Bethania to Beaudesert twice daily. Steam engines hauled regular goods trains. The most exciting, noisy and smelly were the long cattle and horse trains, headed with two steam engines, going to the abattoir. I’d tell my dog everything. He always seemed interested until one day, Woolie became bored and wandered off. The dog was likely bitten by a snake. Time moved slowly with the same daily routine. Except one day, I heard a steam engine’s brakes.
I excitedly watched it stop on the line beside my house. Whilst I wasn’t allowed outside to investigate the unusual event, this was the best day in my life to date! Men offloaded wooden planks from the train’s freight wagons. This second hand timber had come from Camp Cable, the wartime American Army camp, several miles up the line, near Logan Village. Life became interesting. My family were building a house nearby and closer to Bethania Railway Station. My great uncle had transferred to my father a patch of land considered too small for dairy cows or commercial cropping. This triangle of land had been part of the farm established by my forebears before the railway line and the road had separated it. The military had occupied the land and its surrounds with a transit camp. Bethania had been the intersection point for trains transporting troops to the Canungra Jungle Training Camp and Camp Cable.
Pop, an uncle and a neighbour built the cottage where the military’s tents and mess huts had been. Dad wasn’t skilled in carpentry. The simple home had one bedroom, a sitting room, a kitchen, a front veranda and a bathroom with an open wash house and a thunderbox outside. I slept in a cot tucked behind the bedroom cupboard.
As it was in a rural area, the cottage received no rubbish collection, sewerage or water supply services. Rubbish and effluent weren’t an issue. These were buried when Dad showed the inclination. Maintaining sufficient water in the two small tanks for household use and the vegetable garden was an issue. We were dependent on rainfall. Even then, the high tank had to be over half full for enough water pressure to exist for the bathroom and kitchen taps to flow. Mostly, water was dispensed by bucket. I was bathed once a week, and only if I looked sufficiently dirty, in no more than an inch of water in the bath tub. As I didn’t own a toy boat, I didn’t mind.
The cottage did have electricity for lights and three power points for the fridge and sewing machine in the kitchen and the small radio in the sitting room. Dad installed the power pole near the cottage. He purchased a milled log from the sawmiller. Then, he and his mates met, because that was the only labour available, to dig by shovel a large hole in which to stand the pole. At one metre deep, the men hit hard rock. Whilst they didn’t think the hole to be deep enough, they still positioned and raised the pole. For years after, Dad prayed the pole wouldn’t topple on the house in vicious wind. It held until the electricity company replaced it.
A wood stove sat in the kitchen. Finding wood was a chore and a cost most families struggled with. My father fed the stove with used railway sleepers his maintenance gang shared amongst themselves.
Outside, Dad constructed a fowl house from old tanks, sleepers and wire and dug a garden to support the family with eggs, meat and vegetables.
The primitive house met my biggest wish. The rail track ran along the backyard’s fence line! I loved waving at the passengers and guards. Sometimes, I watched Dad banging the spikes along the track.
I was far happier outside, away from Mother’s sight. In addition to the ambience her temperament created, inside the cottage was a horrid place to be. Mother hated housework. We lived in the continual squalor of dirty dishes, clothes, floors and fireplace. The beds weren’t made. The ‘night water’ wasn’t always taken outside early in the morning.
Mother presented a different face outside the cottage however. She was immaculately dressed as a walking advertisement for her dressmaking skills. She was a seamstress and a busy one. Initially, she received her clients in the sitting room but soon a small room was added to the veranda to keep clients away from the squalor. At one point, she started a dressmaking shop with a friend in Beenleigh. Their venture failed quickly as neither understood how to manage a business’ finances.
Money regularly created tension between my parents. There was father’s, mother’s and the housekeeping. Dad handed over the agreed housekeeping from his wage to pay the bills. There never seemed to be enough though. Appliances had been purchased on high interest hire purchase plans. Whatever Mother earnt from sewing appeared to be hers to spend how she wished, usually on more clothes for herself. Dad wasted what remained of his wage on race horses and alcohol. Their financial struggle was a circular form of hell that they couldn’t escape from, precipitated by their inability to work together. Whilst they didn’t physically abuse each other, verbally they did.

Text of prev is the text of the image, which is a screencap of a tweet? Mastodon post? by Lakota Man @LakotaMan1 which also includes 3 photos (a telephone/power pole against the sky; a pole with a utility vehicle and a person with a safety vest and hard hat; four people, 3 of which are wearing safety vests and hard hats, in front of utility vehicles and other equipment).
HELL YEAH.
I'm not sure most folks in the USA can truly appreciate the near-complete lack of infrastructure for many of the reservations¹ that Indigenous people live in. Reservations are typically some of the most desolate, non-arable land the USA could find to shove Indigenous people into. While some reservations and some parts of other reservations have things like electricity, running water, street addresses, internet access, fire/ems services - you know, things many of us colonizers consider absolutely basic - there are vast areas which have some to *none* of them, and Indigenous people still live in them.
I am genuinely glad for these services to be extended into the Navajo Nation and other Indigenous nations. The USA would have a very long road to actually uphold its treaties with Indigenous peoples, but this is one small step out the door.
---
¹ these areas are sovereign nations of Indigenous people. I'm using the term "reservations" to highlight that the USA is responsible for Indigenous lands being condensed and often entirely relocated to these few areas.

So, thanks to President Biden’s Infrastructure Bill, remote locations on the Navajo Nation Reservation will be receiving electricity for the first time — ever.
Also, water treatment devices are being developed to help the tribe access clean running water. After decades without.
