Rewind to August 3rd, we had a little bit of a problem with our electrical. OK, it was more than a little problem. An air conditioner was left on in the bedroom and forgotten, an air conditioner was turned on in the living room. The net result was a blown fuse on the mains, a fuse that was in a socket with a tamper-proof adapter. The adapter shorted out and since it can’t easily be replaced, I had to install a new service and panel. I made a quick adjustment and we got power back to most of the house, only the lights in the kitchen, back bedroom and hallway remain dark, and a couple of outlets in the kitchen and the back bedroom.
That required me to contact Southern California Edison, since I know better than to try to swing a live service myself. Edison requires a city inspection before they will move service, so I had to get a permit.

Fast forward to August 13th, I finished the panel install and ran circuits back to the old panel so that we can have power again. This morning, I called in for the inspection. I expect that we will get our inspection tomorrow. Then I can have Edison swing the service. Then we can have all our lights and outlets back.

At some point in the near future I can start rewiring the house back to the new panel and get rid of all the glass fuses!
