The Importance Of Home Electrician Services And Smoke Alarm Inspection

Electrical systems installation and wiring are an important part of a home. All our appliances and gadgets that we use in our homes are run by electricity. When it comes to installing, repairing, maintaining and upgrading the electrical systems, it is best to take the help of an expert electrician. It can be dangerous to do the electric work and repair yourself. An electrician takes all the necessary safety precautions and measures to ensure safety from electrical hazards and dangers while doing the repairs and installation. Thus, it is important to hire a home electrician for doing electrical work in a residential area.

Since most of us lack the knowledge of dealing with the electrical components, it is advised not to do this work yourself. The electricians are trained and experienced with a very good knowledge of the electrical systems. They know the appliances and working of the wires, cables, and circuits well. If you try to work with electrical components without any experience, you might mistake and cause accidents and damage. It can also cause a danger to your life.

The electricians do the electric repairs according to the rules and regulations so that it complies with the laws. Installing of the wiring has to be done according to legal guidelines. The electrical upgrades have to be done following the safety codes and this is best done by a home electrician.

Since most of us don’t have the tools required for doing the electrical installation and repair, it becomes necessary to hire an electrician. A proper knowledge of the tools and its functioning is needed so that we can use them and a common person lacks this information. Electricians have a good knowledge of the tools used in electrical works. They know how to use the tools in an accurate way.

Electricians also help in installing and inspecting the smoke alarms in your home. Using a smoke alarm is very important as it sounds a siren when there is a fire and it helps in alerting you so that you can put off the fire and take steps to protect yourself and your property from damage and burning. A fire can be very dangerous as it can cause the death of the people living in the house and damage to the property and household items. Thus, a smoke alarm can protect your life and property from harm. If the alarm becomes old and defective, it may not work properly and fail to sound a siren when a fire breaks out causing extensive damage. Thus, it becomes necessary to do the smoke alarm inspection to ensure that it works well.

While inspecting the smoke alarm, the inspector checks if the batteries of the alarm work well or not. In case the batteries don’t function properly or have become weak, they are replaced. Change the battery every year once or twice. The batteries should always be kept in a fully charged condition. The smoke alarm should have an automatic function of using the battery if there is a power failure. The person doing the smoke alarm inspection sees if the terminals and clamps of the alarm have rust and corrosion. If rust is found, it is removed. The rust is cleaned by using non-flammable solvents.

The electrical connections to the smoke alarm are inspected to see if it is working properly or not. The electric power in the alarm is important as the batteries are used when there is no power. Thus, we must ensure that there is a good power supply in the alarm. Horns and strobes are the other important parts of a smoke alarm through which the sound or siren is made. The sound should be loud so that it alarms the residents. Make sure that the sound system is working properly. Also, you must see that the revolving lights of the alarm are functioning in the right way.

Wie ich meinen Geschmack und meine Lauf-Pace aufpeppte

Montag 11. November

Auf dieses Abendessen haben wir uns seit Wochen gefreut: Ein komplett veganes Restaurant namens "No Bones". Wir bestellten beide die Spaghetti Carbonara und ein Gericht mit Brussels sprouts. Ich hatte keinen blassen Schimmer was das war und ließ mich einfach mal überraschen. Als ich dann sah dass es Rosenkohl war, war ich kurz ein bisschen traurig da ich das eigentlich nicht mochte. Aber hey! Es war das Leckerste, was ich je gegessen habe. Und auch die Carbonara war ziemlich genial. Da ich sonst eher als "schleckig" bekannt bin, haben wir die Theorie aufgestellt, dass ich einfach einen sehr teuren Geschmackssinn habe. Zum Abschluss des Abends gab’s noch richtig leckeres Eis. Ich entschied mich für Himbeere-Limette und ja, auch das war köstlich.

Am nächsten Tag klingelt der Wecker um 4 Uhr. Der frühe Vogel fängt bekanntlich den Wurm, also schälen wir uns aus den Decken wie zwei müde Schnecken und machen uns auf den Weg zum Leuchtturm in Byron Bay. Der Weg führt uns durch die Dunkelheit, nur das schwache Licht der Sterne und der Mond begleiten uns auf unserer Reise. Die Landschaft ist in ein geheimnisvolles Dunkel gehüllt, und der Klang der Wellen, die an die Küste schlagen ist das einzige was uns den Weg weist. Es dauert etwa 50 Minuten bis wir den Gipfel erreichen.

Oben angekommen, begrüßt uns das erste Tageslicht, das langsam die Dunkelheit vertreibt. Das Meer glitzert im Morgenlicht und der Sonnenaufgang sieht aus, als ob der Himmel in Flammen steht. Wir setzen uns hin, als Cat plötzlich wie ein aufgeregter Detektiv in Richtung Meer zeigt. Und tatsächlich, ein Wal! Der riesige Koloss taucht aus dem Wasser auf, als würde er uns begrüßen. Wir verfolgen ihn fasziniert, während der Buckelwal majestätisch Fontänen in die Luft schießt und seine Bahnen zieht, als wäre er der König des Ozeans.

Nach einem gelungenen Start in den Tag starten wir den Motor und machen uns auf den Weg nach Bellingen. Ein kleines Dorf, das trotz seines deutschen Namens keine Geschichte in dieser Richtung zu bieten hat.

Jetzt ist es an der Zeit kurz etwas über das Auto zu erzählen: Der Honda Civic fährt wie ein gut geölter Blitz, und wenn die Musik laut genug ist, hört man das Quietschen der Bremsen nicht was natürlich praktisch ist wenn man keine Lust auf nervige Geräusche hat. Doch das Radio scheint die Kurven nicht zu mögen. In jeder Linkskurve wird der Sound für einen Moment still als würde das Radio sich überlegen ob es wirklich mit uns weiterfahren will. Schlaglöcher machen die Situation noch dramatischer. Das Radio verstummt komplett und wir brauchen ein weiteres Schlagloch um es wieder zum Leben zu erwecken. Es fühlt sich an als ob das Radio kurz davor ist die weiße Fahne zu schwenken.

Trotz der Musikunterbrechungen, bei denen wir einfach weiter sangen wie eine gestrandete Karaoke-Truppe, haben wir es schließlich nach Bellingen geschafft. Eine unglaublich hübsche kleine Stadt, die aussieht, als wäre sie direkt aus einer „Vampire Diaries“-Szene entlaufen.

Wir schlagen unser Zelt auf einem ziemlich idyllischen Campingplatz unter einem Dach auf da für die Nacht wieder der Regen angekündigt ist. Ein großer Danke geht raus an die Campingplatz-Manager, die uns diesen Luxusplatz besorgt haben. Unsere Nachbarn, die offenbar schon seit Ewigkeiten an diesem Fleckchen Erde wohnen, begrüßen uns freundlich, wobei man eher das Gefühl hat sie hätten in ihrer eigenen Welt gerade einen langen, sehr bunten Tag hinter sich.

Am Abend beschließen wir in eine Pizzeria zu gehen um wenigstens ein bisschen Internet zu schnappen da es hier draußen quasi kein Netz gibt. Zufälligerweise haben wir einen echten Italiener erwischt und der Abendessen war so gut dass ich fast vergessen habe das es in der Nacht Katzen hageln wird.

Wir verbringen die Tage mit entspanntem Bummeln durch das Städtchen, wie zwei Schmetterlinge die von einem schönen Moment zum nächsten flattern und entdecken dabei wunderschöne Gläser. Sicherheitshalber habe ich ein Foto gemacht, falls ich mich später doch für den Kauf entscheide, oder sie auf meinen Wunschzettel setze ;).

In der Gegend gibt es den bekannten „Waterfall Way“, den wir fahren wollten, weil diese Straße wie ein lebendiges Gemälde aus Kühen, Bäumen und Bergen beschrieben wurde. Sie endet in den Bergen, wo wir einen Wanderweg im Regenwald finden. Wir entscheiden uns ihn zu joggen, es war wie ein kleiner Ausflug ins Paradies! Wir entdecken Wasserfälle, unzählige Vögel und riesige Bäume. Zum Schluss belohnen wir uns mit einem Saft, dessen Geschmack mich an den erinnert, den meine Mutter mir früher gemacht hat.

Auch diese Zeit in mitten der Natur vergeht und wir machen uns weiter auf den weg nach Sydney (15.11.2024)

Friday 17th February 2023

This and the previous property's water supply comes from the sky. Huge tanks in the garden harvest rainwater for drinking as well as all the other household requirements. These tanks here are running low, and if significant amounts of rain are not delivered soon, they will need topping up by truck at cost. This is not seen as being a popular pastime. Rains are forecast in 4 weeks time.

We had set targets for today that could be considered unrealistic. Our journey from Tuncurry to Yamba was to be something slightly less than 5 hour straight and 430kms up the fast A1 Pacific Highway, which is a long way for us in one day. Complicated of course because we wanted to stop on route to take a look at a couple of places. The first must see place had to be the lunch spot in Nambucca Heads, conveniently situated at the head of the Nambucca River but an absolutely delightful collection of sandbanks and natural harbour. Ham & egg sandwiches are an excellent match for the scenery on offer. What with the visit to the bakery added to the consumption time I think we are now talking overall 6 hours with less than halfway. Our next stop was to be Bellingen at the start of the Waterfall Drive. This unsurprisingly involved driving down a road surrounded by waterfalls and comes well recommended. Bellingen is a town that absolutely confirms everything we like about Australia! It is a comely mainstreet of old traditional shops with covered walkways, banks and cinema; balconies with delicate regency iron fretwork which adds a real charm to it. Apparently some town planners are keen to rip the lot down and replace it with modern stuff identical to everywhere else. Thankfully there is sufficient opposition to this viewpoint to hold this sacrilegious act at bay. But for how long we ask? The tourist information lady was very helpful when asked where best to sample the loveliest of her waterfalls and she immediately began scooping copious piles of leaflets, printouts, maps and instructions suitable for a fortnight stay. Another approach was proffered; if you could do just one of these places, which would it be? So that was how we ended up driving up the Dorrigo Mountain to see the Crystal Shower Falls Walk in the Dorrigo National Park Rainforest. This involved a 3km round trip along tall canopied forest paths winding steadily downwards passing palms and yellow cedars until we heard the sounds of running water. The Crystal Shower did not disappoint, especially the ability to clamber behind the falls to view the falling water from the other side. Fantastic and well worth the hike back up the winding forest path, although now making the overall journey time approach 8 hours.

Thus it was that we arrived in our superb Samsara Bush Retreat cabin just before dusk, tired and very hungry. We didn't fancy cooking at this point so we emptied the Nissan and set coordinates for what looked essentially the nearest thing to a fish and chips restaurant. This somewhat morphed into a hotel by the motorway bridge over the river. Dispell all cosy thoughts of country hotels straightaway. Think more in terms of cowboy town hotel, cattle rustlers and karaoke. Then combine this with trying to converse over a cacophony of country music (term loosely applied) with a Sheila, who's already had a tough day sheep wrestling, with an intention of ordering take away F&C. What did come across in clear dulcet tones was: 30 minutes, busy and that'll be 50 bucks! Waiting the required 'go out and catch fish, fillet and cook' time we investigated the possibility of a supply of SB. This was to romp in at 38 bucks a bottle! Well you have to crush the grapes, ferment etc, all costs I suppose. So we approached what must have been Sheila's sister behind the bar to enquire if she might possibly have a bottle of beer. What do want, what you got, no what do you want? This circular discussion continued a while until we suggested Four X. Then with a look, she disappeared out back somewhere (not the outback, although by the amount of time it took it could have been) she emerged with a cold one.

Our landlord suggested later this was the best place to go in this sugar mills district where clearly the entire town of millers come out on a Friday evening to let their hair down.

Hmm

Stefan Peters from Hasselt, Belgium.

Fired by a fixed fascination with the language of painting, Stefan Peters (1978) has for some years been aspiring to fathom reality by disclosing the mechanics of representation. The artist makes uses of rhetorical devices such as reversals, mirror imaging and cutting to undermine the elegance of his painting technique. This results in scenes characterised by fairy-like as well as apocalyptic elements. Using indirect lighting, scenic shadows and brush strokes that refuse to take on any descriptive function, Peters dissects what is familiar to us. In his recent work, dream world and reality merge into one another. In his paintings, animations and installations, Stefan Peters not only creates images, but also sets out in search of their process of origination: the formation of the image. He explores the imitative qualities of painting, but knows that reality can also be evoked through alienating effects, image fragments or even the futility of a brush stroke. Just as silence makes the finest sound audible, Peters creates quietude in his paintings, so that even the smallest ripple becomes visually visible and acquires meaning. This is why, for Stefan Peters, creation does not only encompass the search for something new; using painting as his principle expressive means, it is for him always a rediscovery through which that which already exists is poetically revealed. Stefan Peters (1978) lives and works in Hasselt. He studied at the MAD Faculty in Genk and at the Jan van Eyck Academy in Maastricht. (Stef Van Bellingen)
