I agree. Having the power off is unwise. I'd have to ask
again. I've forgotten why the power is off. I think one or
more of the adult (should behave like them) children owns
the house on paper, and the father is acting with great
love, helping take care of the house. Even though father is
out of work, money is not there, and gasoline to drive to
the house is precious.

This seems unwise, viz. denies power to lamps and burglar/
fire alarms. Many insurance carriers deny coverage when
electricity is shut off. Canadian houses empty for a week
to
several months in winter usually maintain elec. connections
and set furnace heat at 45 to 50 deg. Fahr., with an alarm
to
report if the electricity should fail.
