Power

On the Friday, March 13, 2009, Bob had reached his limit in trying to deal with the electric company. They could not find the house. He called me and asked if I could call the main power provider and get a number that is recognized by the electric company. I called and they could not find the house and they asked if I had the meter number. Since I didn't I decided to drive out to the house to get the number. Well it was a very rainy day so I quickly located the meter and called them back. That meter was not in their system. At this point I was becoming frustrated. How can there be no house "found" when I'm looking at it?

I hung up with the power company and called Bob to let him know my findings. He decided he would just ask one of the neighbors. On Monday he met Justin and found out the correct power company. He called and they were going to turn on the electricity the next day.

I had been spending a lot of time at the house with the pups and noticed that one of the switches above the sink was on the "on" mode. Well the day the power was to be turned on I kept thinking about that switch. What if it belongs to the garbage disposal and when the power is turned on it starts running, creates a spark, and starts the house on fire. I decided to swing by the house to turn it off. As I pulled up I noticed the electric company was already there.

The guy was just about to leave because the breaker was on and he can't turn the power on until it was turned off. Talk about God's perfect timing. So he helped me locate the breaker box and turned on the power. YEAH!! The switch that was "on" was for the light not the garbage disposal. I also asked him why the main power company did not have the meter number and I showed him the number I read to them. Genius child at work gave them the gas meter number. No wonder they could not find it.
