Powerlines 5

Posted at 10:03 pm MDT to Miscellaneous

The electrical contractor and the power company reps showed up on time and looked around for about half an hour. It would have been nice if they had told me what the next step is going to be before they left. I'll call one or both tomorrow to find out status.

A funny thing happened yesterday: a woman came to he door who works for the city of Lousiville (a nearby suburb) marking underground power lines and such. She was looking for 6967 and I couldn't remember which house that was. The county has taken advantage of requests for building permits to force acceptance of the new house numbers on some properties that refused to accept the new numbers back in 1999, and the house she needed is no longer marked as 6967 even though that is what is on the mailbox down at the main road.

After she left, I thought to check the phone book and found that she had needed the house with the chain link fence on the corner -- the former owners are still listed in last year's white pages, with the house number. (The house that was the other possibility has renters I don't know.) But it was too late to give her that information.
