Power Lines
Posted to Miscellaneous category
From March 4 (uploaded wrong)
Between bad weather and being sick I haven't been chasing my power company and electrical contractor to get the power lines finished.
This morning someone from the power company showed up, looked things over and said they would want to redo the underground lines (so they can charge me for the work, and dig up my driveway again) and also he didn't like the way they did the breaker box and he wants that re-done even though it passed the county's inspection.
I called in to the electrical contractor. Ross, who did the work, is no longer with them it seems. A technician is supposed to come out tomorrow morning to look at things. I'm not sure what that will accomplish.
If he proposes charging me for anything I will refuse to allow the work. If I have to pay for some of this stuff twice, the second payment will go to someone else.
At least I'm more or less healthy this week and have a little spare energy for this.
I have sent emails to both the contractor and a consumer advocacy website that they advertise on.
I should probably see about contacting a lawyer. Voodoo dolls might be cheaper and more satisfying. Gah.
