I'm assuming that the panel is framed with 2x4's and the window is
obviously
(I HOPE!!) framed with 2x4's so everything should be isolated from each
other. It's not like I plan on cutting the plywood sheathing, rather just
the siding, but you never know ... I'd hate to find out something nasty
while holding a circular saw standing on a metal scaffolding.

I'm curious. You have to stand on scaffoldign to reach the window
which is next to the meter? How did the electric company read the
meter? Before there was radio-reading of meters.


Binoculars?? I would imagine they stood on the porch, but realistically
there isn't a good place for someone to stand and read it. My house is on
some pretty steep sloping land and the meter is about 8 feet in the air.
