HURRAY! The power's on!! The whole neighborhood lit up Thursday night except us. That was a bad day. Especially because we knew the people who were one-off's were at the bottom of the priority list with some people at work hearing they may go until Christmas without power.
There was also a run on electricians because anyone who had damage on their house electrically had to have it fixed before PSO would turn on the house power. We weren't sure why the power wasn't working, but it looked like a house issue. Fortunately we had the name of a wonderful electrician who has done work for us before. We called him Thursday night and he came Friday after he got out of work. He said the reason we weren't turned on was because the electric box on the house was tilted a little and PSO probably thought it was a safety issue. Oh boy, I thought, we'll get it straightened and then wait til Christmas for PSO.
Anyway, the electrician fixed the box and then said, "Don't tell PSO, but they left their box open and I'll turn you back on." HURRAY! When he was finished and heard us cheering I said, "How much do we owe you, $1000?" He said "No, just $35."
