Yay for electricity!

For us, anything & everything to do with electricity has been a very l-o-n-g, almost never-ending nightmare, think major major pain in the rump times one hundred (atleast!) --> from getting the inspector(s) to come out; to getting long ditches dug & covered again; to ordering and getting the right parts; to David wiring... and wiring... and wiring, in what we was sure was going to take several years by itself! -- only to name a few things that really took forever!

I am sooo happy to say that as of yesterday (4.17.09) we have electricity!



After having the temporary electric pole put up a year and a half ago...



and having it 250 feet from the house... with an extension cord for power!

Then to David building the boxes (and 4 foot trough!)... waiting to be inspected!

to being inspected (and passing!), but more waiting... for 2 weeks!

Only to come down to the house on Thursday to see this.... in the driveway...

And upon closer inspection... I see this...

it's 3 trucks from the electric company running our main wires to the box! Yay!


And they left the box looking like this -- just waiting for a meter now!

And the very next day (which is possibly lightening speed for around here!), we have a meter!!

So here is one of those "what do you see?" pictures in our already messy new laundry room... look closely!

Did you guess electrical outlet?? Ding ding! Woohoo! We have a working plug with the radio pumping!

Oh boy, oh boy... this week has been a good one! Another big thing DONE! :)
