The saga of upgrading the electrical panel, meter pan, and weatherhead in our new/old (1876) farmhouse was fraught with mishaps, including an incompetent electrician whose work failed inspection. Because of the structure of the house, bringing the new electrical work up to code necessitated a new water heater to meet clearances (surprise!) and an exterior system disconnect, so it was pretty tricky putting together a new team and coordinating different phases of the projects. It wasn't all bad, though, because the lead electrician is also an ornithologist so we had some fun down times swapping bird life-list stories. This FotoInspired page documents all of that...and more, because with an old house...there is ALWAYS MORE. Still, I wouldn't trade this place for the world.
