light crew...

Ok so the pics are not the best it was rather late when I took them.
This was the scene outside my house Saturday night. When I plugged in the heater Saturday night the most amazing/alarming thing occured the lights in most of the house dimmed. When I unplugged the heater, the lights returned to normal.. Ok that was just a bit too weird for me. Of course I tested it again, and again it did the same thing. Thus began a bit more exploring, some rooms worked, the tv worked too, but other rooms no lights would come on, no matter how many times you flipped the switch. So I called the city, wondering about power outages, there were none, but the very kind person on the other end assured me that someone would be there soon to look at it, and that yes it would be safe to stay in my house, by that point I was wondering if my wires were shorting out and just going to simply burn my house down, or blow it up. I did even have a moment where I wondered if we had a ghost or two or three. (I am quite adept at thinking of worse case scenarios) Once the city crew arrived they discovered we were only receiving a part of the power we should have been receiving, eventually they fixed the problem as best they could with a promise to return Monday to complete the work. I am happy to say no lights have dimmed, or refused to turn on since Saturday night.
