Hello U-K-W:

I am sure they could have taken their sweet time, but I reconnected it
myself. They had a lock out bar over the main breaker. That was easy to
remove, with Mr. Hack Saw.

Yes I have to agree with you there about missing the electric power. I
have looked into low voltage, battery systems for remote places that
don't have electric power run to them. I keep on coming up with a gas or
disle generator.

One guy I work with, we have priced out different power systems and such
for his remote home in the Seria Mountains. After years of running a gas
generator, and charging batteries and such. He was able to have Edison
run in a power poles and a step down transformer for under 5000 dollars,
which we figured to be cheap, as compared to all the other ways of
getting power to the house.

Now he can run a big linear.

Jay,

Not that you are a bad customer as far as the electric utility is concerned,
but here in Texas we have 48 hours to reconnect a customer after they
pay...and sometimes, we do make them wait 47 if they have been too much of a
pain. Of course, we only do that because we are so backlogged. :-) And that
usually fixes the problem. You don't know how much you depend on electricity
until you don't have it.
