We have received a notice that Southern California Edison will be shutting of our electricity on Wednesday, July 18, 2018 from 8am to 2pm for upgrades. This may cause some delays in shipment of orders.

Except it would be nice if they did it in the late afternoon, early evening or when the weather is cooler. We are supposed to have a high of 102 with a chance of thunderstorms. So it should be a fun day...…...not

We once again have power. If you tried to call us today during the power outage you most likely received a message that the phone number is no longer valid. This is not the case. I apologize for the inconvenience.

I knew last week that we were not going to have power from 8am to 2pm as they upgraded a transformer in my area. However, just getting back from vacation and the site down last week it wasn't really great timing. However, I survived the heat. I got up at 6:45 and turned the AC on and it ran non stop till we lost power. I also kept all the blinds closed and it has been overcast most of the day which also helped. Now I am back to running the swamp cooler.
