SNAFU Minor

The Live Wire

The main power line from the street to the house needed to be moved to permit demolition of the original half second floor.  In the process, the general contactor (Touch of Class Home Improvements) managed to strip away the power line’s insulation, and the damaged cord still dangles precariously from our front porch to a tree limb across the street.  

Unsecured electric main as of May 19, 2009, ten months into renovation.
