Summertime - time to do some maintenance ...
Summer is approaching the end ... I don't like the Autumn and the end of the summer isn't joyfull time to me. Anyway we need to find something positive in it also. And I found the reason - there will be fewer such views that were present in every places of our town this summer: 
The scale of reconstruction of the so-called "Integrated thermal energy supply network" was really impressive in some parts of the town. But the life wasn't very nice for the residents of the districts were reconstruction is carried on ...
This summer I learned new term - the integrated thermal energy supply network :) This term is used officially to call all those pipelines supplying hot water and heat to the various districts of the town. Most of them are old and very inefficient: it's not surprise that Kaunas is among those places in Lithuania that suffers largest energy losses in the pipelines. It seems that this situation should change in a few years since the scale of the reconstruction of old lines in the last few years is impressive. This summer I saw infotables saying that the "reconstruction of line Nr 4,8,9 or 12" is under way. The reconstruction of pipelines should lead to the lower demand for energy and consequently for the lower demand of natural gas (or it's substitutes) and in theory to the lower bills. But everything has own price. I had the impression that resources allocated to the reconstruction of pipelines were also "stollen" from other fields - the reconstruction of streets in example. And the life in that districts isn't pleasurable starting from late Spring. (Logic of reconstruction says that the next year this reconstruction will reach our district as well). And this is the situation in which the resdents of this house lives from May ...
Late August but some parts of the line still contain old pipes. from the other side even brief glimpse is enough to see that the insulation of old pipelines wasn't done good ...
The new pipes still resides nearby:
October approaching rapidly and I think if the workers will be able to finish the job in time ?... This part is nearly finished:
But more common still are such views:
