Christmas Party — Harjumaa

The van parks at the edge of a gravel yard and the first question is always the same: where is the socket. A manor hall runs extension leads from the kitchen. A barn offers a single junction box meant for a tractor. A lakeside house has power, but the breaker is sized for lamps, not a rig.

Every Christmas party costs more in Harjumaa than it would in town, and most of that cost is the hour before anyone arrives. Drive time moves the day rate. A generator moves it further. If the nearest hardware shop is forty minutes away and a cable fails, that is three hours you are paying for.
