Duke Energy: CROOKS!!

Just found out Duke Energy - the brilliant minds - are charging us $325 to have our power transferred to the temporary pole.

It's a distance of no more than 50 feet and I've been told is a simple task.

$325! They can't cry poverty any more!

Disclaimer: I'm irritated. Sorry for the rant. I feel better, but still not happy!

CROOKS!!!!

Someone's not happy

Apparently Alexander liked the house like it was...

The Roof! The Roof!

The roof is...GONE!! It was very hard to work knowing this was going on at our house. Check it out...






Hope that's a good enough taste for you on the first day. Plenty more to come!

The Day

This project has been in discussion for years now. It was an idea originally brought up by my mom and while at first it was laughed off, it eventually became more and more of a real option. I never ever thought we would actually do this...but today is the day.

Temporary power pole will replace...

This ugly thing currently on our roof. (Sorry, it's a little dark)

Not much today, but hopefully a LOT tomorrow as we'll have some before and after pics of the roof that is supposed to be taken completely off in the next two days. Can't wait!
