The biggest changes that bring the biggest sense of satisfaction to us probably are the changes in utilities. We have the main power service pulled into the building now. No more running electrical cords into the building from the panel box out by the street!! Yah - yippee! Also we are heating the building now with two out of four furnaces and some improvised and temporary systems of moving that heat around. No more propane heater!! Yah - yippee!
See the posts cut off where the temp. power was?
Ta Da! One meter - for now! BIG box is the main disconnect!
Propane tank on track side. Hauled out Saturday!
Sorry, no picture of the "fiery beastie" inside!
Drywall is done - most of the taping is finished. Some of the electrical is done. BUT it won't be until the new year when Epcor will create the remaining accounts for the other electrical meters. We only have a "house meter" right now. The house meter records the power for the electrical room and the outdoor lighting only. We have roughed in plugs etc. but no actual power 'til the new year! Epcor sets up the accounts for the meters for the suites, Fortis goes in and installs the meters and then either the electrician or Epcor or Fortis - or maybe all three stand there and "flick the switch"! Who knows! Peter does I'm sure - but he is on the phone and I won't ask anymore silly questions! And the whole process seems so silly! The joys of privitization I guess! The same sort of hoopla happened to get the gas meters functioning as well. Only we dealt with Direct Energy, Atco and the plumber. What's going to happen with the water and sewer! Haven't even thought that far. And Telus won't pull the telephone line into the building until a month from now. Then individual tenants have to call to have their own service to their own suite switched over. Some of the little (?) frustrations with utilities! But hey - we're making progress as you can see by the pics! Yah Yippee!
