Thanks for your input.

My comfort / safety zone is to not work with anything hot. The closest I come
is pulling wires to a load panel that is live, but I won't work on hot
conductors.

If the power company won't disconnect and reconnect the power drop (within a
reasonable period, say 24 hours), I may have to have an electrician do this.
But the one estimate I got was $3000 for that small job.

Thanks again,


I'll do it for $2999.99 if you supply the beer.
