The Bucket Truck Returns

Helena, MT  H  94  Low 62

The electrician showed up about 9:00 this morning and headed right on up and up and up.

He installed the new conduit and wires and then installed the new meter base. Sure looks different than the old one.

After Darren finished his installation, it was time to call Dean. Dean is the one who could give us the seal of approval. That green seal means we can have the power company come out and hook us up again.

Finally, the bucket truck arrives. Hooks up the power and installs the meter dial. We have electricity!!

Scooter is so happy.

  5. Funny how the electric company's vary throughout the country.We had a fire in our meter last year, The co-op. Cuivre River Electric we belong to came out and rewired and replaced the meter box and Junction inlet for free, no charge to us of any kind.Hope your rewire job wasn't to expensive. Sam & Donna..

  8. Those are some tired puppies! I don't trust our screen door to be strong enough to hold our big boy, so we never leave the main door open like that. They would love it though.

  13. Sure, blame the dogs for being happy you have juice and coolness again! ;c)

    What a process, could they make it more difficult? It's not like you're building a nuclear power plant or anything! :cD

  19. It hits me how much easier it is with solar panels,a charge controller and an inverter - or a nice and quiet HONDA Genny. :-)
    Love the pics of the doggies. Priceless!

  25. Skittlez and Scooter are characters. Looks like Skittlez is in a compartment in the motorhome although I see steps. How the heck did she get up there?
