Power Lines Again

Posted at 4:23 pm MST to Miscellaneous

Art, the technician from my electrical contractor came out this morning to look things over.

He's going to sic his bosses on X-Cel, and assured me that I would not need to pay for digging everything up again: his company will cover any costs if X-Cel insists on being stupid and re-digging, but he thought that was not likely once his bosses got involved.

The meter being too high will be handled by building a platform (about 3 feet square) in front of it on the deck. I suggested giving it a hinged top and he agreed that would be a good idea, so I will be able to store some small stuff in it out of the wind. I'm thinking that platform might also be a good place to put my little weber charcoal grill when the weather gets nicer.

Art will be coming back on Friday to build the platform: the weather forecasts for tomorrow and Thursday are not encouraging. This means, of course, that the storm will move more slowly so that it can make a mess on Friday, too.
