Today is the day! We are finally getting the permanent power hookup to the new house! I can't even believe how long I've been waiting for this. This is super important because it unblocks a bunch of other stuff from happening in order to finish the project.
It looked like it almost wasn't going to happen there for a bit, but the crew pulled through! A very quick tree trim, an extra supply run to get thicker wire, and a quick reroute of the conduit for the main line and we're back in business.
Also I just think it's really funny that the guy from the power company just ripped the meter off the side of the building while everything inside was still powered on. Seems like you might want to disconnect the load at the breaker before pulling potentially 200 amps off the wall but hey that's not my job.

This week I need to tackle this project! I need to remove everything in the utility room so the electricians can run a new main power line through the ceiling. Capturing this for the "before" photo.
