We had the power company come out the other day and do this:
They disconnected the power line and rolled it back to the last pole.
They also took the meter off the back of the house.
They made sure to tell us that even though it was on the ground like this, it's perfectly safe as they have disconnected the transformer on the pole before this one. No danger at all.
When the builder gets ready, they will have this connected to a temporary pole so they will be able to run tools and equipment etc. while building.
I am so excited about your house. You make me feel like I am a part of the whole thing. I am an old widow so seeing young men go out to make a new home for themselves makes me happy.
ReplyDeleteHaving temporary power is a great thing, sure makes building a lot easier and no generators banging away all the time, although the latest generation of battery powered tools could probably reduce this somewhat. Didn't have them when I built my log house back in '87, so was glad to pay to have a temporary pole installed.
ReplyDeleteProgress!
ReplyDeleteI suppose this is one of the few times that no power at a house is progress!
ReplyDeleteAnother step closer to your House Build! So exciting!
ReplyDeleteFor every project that is finished and crossed off your list is just another step closer for the men to come in with their Big Boy Toys.
ReplyDeleteThen the excitement will really kick in more than ever.
