Seriously.....

We are having our electrical service upgraded, and as part of that process, someone from the power company had to come out and look at our meter to approve the location. Turns out, he won't approve it. Why not? Well, the bright folks who installed the central air conditioning put the condenser right in front of the meter. And that's against OSHA standards. There has to be three feet of clear access to the meter. So, in order to get the electrical service upgraded and the new meter installed, we have to pay someone to move the condenser four feet one way or the other. Seriously. I'm so bugged.

Just for the record, we are NOT the bright folks who installed it in a location that violates OSHA regulations. It was there when we moved in.

I tried to find out who installed the original system, because I was going to call the company and ask them to move it, since it was their fault it was in the wrong place. But we have no way to find out. And besides, I really doubt they'd come out to move a 10-year-old condenser four feet, for someone who didn't even buy the system from them.

Seriously. Why don't people who do this sort of thing for a living, actually do it right?
