Last Friday a MLGW crew came out and hooked up the line to the pole. We now have electricity to the meter box. But, they are not allowed to install the meter, soooooooooooo, another crew has to come and install the meter. They were there for 35 minutes. 2 ten ton trucks and 3 guys to run the wires through a pipe, attach the pipe to the pole and hook the wires to the existing power line.
Oh, what efficiency. It will take 3 crews and several weeks to install a 60' electric cable from a pole already on the property to the cottage. If all utility companies work as MLGW does no wonder our rates are so high.
Maybe, this week we can get a meter so that the private electric company can come and check their work and we can get the final electric inspection. We can get the AC guys back to charge the heat pump and balance the system and maybe get a Certificate of Occupancy. But, if MLGW keeps to its schedule it will take 2 weeks to get a crew out to install the meter.
Can you tell that we are not happy campers?
Ta ta for now.
