Here we are. . .

Still awaiting the final hookup of the new transformer and power lines. The process stareted back in May sometime.

In August/September, we though real progress had been made, as some fellows came out and put up the new power lines, poles and transformer. All that was left, we were told, was for the power company to come out and hook up the new meter.

That was more than a month ago. We are still waiting for at least one, possibly two, inspectors to come out and give the official okely-dokely. We have already had two other inspectors come out and they presumably gave it the thumbs-up. Both of them had a fishing weight hanging on some line and they just walked around and eyeballed the new poles that were put up. They didn't do anything else. Maybe the next round of inspectors will actually check things out?

Of course, the money has been paid; it's just up to the power company at this point. Conservatively, and pessimistically, we're putting the over/under at around Christmas.
