Did we say one step closer?

Silly us. Of course, that turned out not to be the case.

We're still waiting.

The electric company did come out with a new meter. The fellow that showed up, however, told us that we needed an additional box, that Coopalesca doesn't provide.

We needed a box with a lever to turn things off, and more cables to hook everything together.

Naturally, none of this wisdom was imparted during the entire six-month process of getting everything out.

Miguel hot-footed it down to the local hardware store, where the box we needed wasn't in stock. Off to another hardware store, where we got the box. Then a day or so of welding on Miguel's part to put the box up and then hook everything up.

Now, it's up to the Coopalesca folks to come back out again and give the final OK and hook up the meter.

Would like to say we'll be fully connected by the end of the week, but then again, we thought we would be wired by the end of July.
