Once there was a place to hang a meter we applied for our electrical permit. We then had to mount the meter on the wall using brackets Ben welded up and bolts through the wall holding 2x4s. We dug a 50' trench from the wall to the power pole; we then laid the conduit with a pull rope inside and grounded the meter. Finally, the power came. Goodbye, generator!
