Winter Maintenance Report - 2022/23

The purpose of this document is intended to be to serve as a summary conclusion of the maintenance events that have occurred at the reactor headquarters for the Goliath Energy Corporation over the past six months.  It will be noted that as we are approaching Spring, we are approaching the anniversary of our basement flooding crisis.  It would also be noted that the pipe itself would have burst approximately a year ago during the winter, and then the basement was flooded when the water was turned on again in the Spring.  We reacted appropriately to that crisis and removed a very large water laden carpet and were able to hire a plumber to make the necessary, albeit quick, repairs to the piping system.  The most difficult was most certainly carrying the carpet up the stairs, but now the basement is complete with a simple rug and some plain clean furniture.  There were no other damages in this incident, and the reactor systems remained secure throughout the process.  I would like to report a similar happy ending to the ongoing electrical problems at Goliath headquarters over the last six month which are believe to have finally been remedied.

The leading theory is that approximately five to six months ago, Goliath's home and headquarters was struck by lightning during a thunderstorm.  There was indeed a thunderstorm with extensive lightning over Spokane immediately prior to these events.  This storm occurred at night and the following morning various electrical appliances were either not working or needed to be reset, including a refrigerator.  However, the rest of the house continued to have a steady power supply and all computer systems were charged and running.  A brief investigation concluded that the house did not lose power but some breakers needed to be reset for specific rooms.  It was then surmised that lightning had struck the house or its nearby utility pole during the storm, necessitating the system reset.  This returned the system to a perceived state of normality and work continued at Goliath.

Yet, problems would arise when the Winter's cold set in.  Fortunately, our primary source of heat, the furnace, continued to remain operational throughout this process, as did the water heater and softener (both of which had been recently replaced).  However, two electrical baseboard heaters on the main and upper floors were no longer.  There was a third baseboard heater upstairs which had never worked and it was decided to investigate.  This was necessitated by the fact that not only is the furnace approximately twenty years old and a back-up heating system was needed, but also because the furnace itself runs off of natural gas and since the reactor providing electrical energy is at this location it would be advantageous to both Goliath and the world to use an electrical source of heat.  This was when the madness began.  Goliath was determined to fix the problem himself.  A baseboard and a thermostat were replaced.  In addition to this, a space heater was purchased for the upper floor.  At the same time, electrical anomalies on the property continued to appear and then be remedied.  Goliath continued to work on developing a secondary reactor system in order to hardwire the cumulative power supply.  However, we could never get any of the baseboard heaters to turn on.  Finally, we called an electrician.  It was very difficult to find any electrician with an opening, and the one that we did find did not have availability for weeks.  Approximately ten days ago the electrical contractors became available and two electricians showed up at eight am.  They tested the system, hooked up the third baseboard, and replaced a breaker.  They also installed an outlet on the front of the house.  They were only here a few hours and we thanked them for their work.  However, when we went to install another new thermostat that we bought, we could no longer get power at any of the heaters or their thermostat (and so were obviously not working).

Our attempts to remedy this situation having been defeated, we promptly contacted the electricians and asked them to come back.  Fortunately, they were able to return today, and although it only took one electrician roughly thirty minutes to find a solution, there is still some obscurity as to what the problem was.  However, we can finally say that all three baseboard heaters are working properly and the furnace has been turned down.  Although we are past the coldest days of Winter, this series of repairs should provide Goliath with a comfortable transition into Spring and Goliath should be able to proceed in a more environmentally friendly manner while also supplying a steadier power base to the community at large.  Furthermore, it would be noted that as the general power supply was never lost for an extent of time necessary to impede the charging of devices, that Goliath was able to easily maintain general and specific business processes with the exception of the time spent on conducting these repairs.  In addition to these issues, there is the obvious financial costs associated with maintenance, however these did not prove to be extravagant.  Goliath believes that this is because we were able to maintain the security of our overall power supply throughout this crisis.

Finally, we would like to thank the electricians who conducted these repairs in an organized and professional manner.  In addition, Goliath would like to warn homeowners and renters that construction crews and contractors are in high demand right now, and therefore are very busy.  For these reasons, those expecting repairs need to act early and expect to wait for non-emergency situations.  In the meantime, Goliath continue to be able to increase the size of the overall power supply and thus is also proud to state that the reactor systems remained secure throughout the process.  Obviously, significant electrical systems were turned on and off throughout the testing and maintenance process so we would also like to thank our neighbors and community members for their patience in dealing with any energy related anomalies they have experienced over recent weeks or months.  In conclusion, Goliath is in significantly stronger position within his own home and headquarters than he was a year ago before the flooding incident.  Thank you once again for your time and commitment to this enterprise.
