Any of the wishful thinkers, who thought that these hydro poles would be installed within a couple days have lost on their predictions on the poll. It is still possible that the 3 votes for 1 week could be possible, although the ESA has reported today that switching the generator off Tuesday to put us back on grid is probably an over ambitious goal. It appears more probable that it will take between 1 week and 2 weeks which only 2 voters voted on 2 weeks. The 5 voters who have voted 3 or more weeks may have been forgetting the pocketbook for 2074359 Ontario Ltd.
I have heard that it is costing approximately $300-$400 per day to power this generator. Again it appears to be costing $2000 per day for the rental of this generator and possibly $5000 per day in fines. So I guess $7500 per day is a mighty hefty hydro bill. Just over a week of this generator running would have paid or almost paid for the necessary repairs. If the previously reported price of $40,000 to repair the electrical system was indeed true, the generator may have jumped that bill over 25% before the major work really gets started.
The electrical work has taken a slow and painful start with one individual electrician today. This individual has been checking every pole mounted breaker for every trailer to confirm that the wiring running from the breaker is indeed able to handle the load that the breaker will allow through. It appears that the major issue is still not getting the attention that is required and therefore it presently appears that we will be running on the generator for the weekend.
The noise of the generator will have to be measured for the tribunal to consider it in the applications before the tribunal for interference with our reasonable enjoyment of the unit or of the complex. Which has now exceeded 24 hours and therefore will be taken seriously within the tribunal. After all it is not our fault as tenants that the landlord has withheld maintenance of the electrical system for the past 18 plus years since ordered to repair the electrical in November 1991.

For those people who were not watching the blog back in February, the letter from 1991 was posted under the posting http://1010dundas.blogspot.com/2010/02/fb-young-ba-supervising-electrical.html
