While working on repairing the gutter lights, all of the sudden I heard a loud pop from the direction of our power pole, and the lights went out. After calling the power company around 4:30, we finally saw a truck around 6:00. I went outside and spoke to them, they estimated a " couple hours" and took off in their truck. We didn't see anyone again till about 7:45, when not one but three trucks rolled in, including a very large bucket truck. They confirmed that the transformer was dead and went about replacing it, which took about 45 minutes. I watched from my bay window and snapped some pics with my DSLR while they were working. Enjoy!

Inspecting the transformer. They carefully maneuvered the bucket truck between the hot and neutral power lines.
