SO I may be crazy, but does this look like a electric meter that is attached to anything? If you were coming to read this, wouldn't you start to wonder if there were actually any electric currents running through this home? (lets not even take into consideration the fact that the building is just an empty shell) So then why does the electric company continue to send us not only bills for estimated usage, but angry notes demanding access to the meter???? Has anyone actually been there to check this out? The same BS is happening with the gas company as well (who, by the way, sent two of their own men out to 'retire' the line and seal the pipes before we started digging the basement.) We're dutifully writing them checks whilst hoping that they'll give us a big credit when all is said and done. Trying to explain the situation to the "people" on the phone is mind numbing... Anyone else had this kind of fun? It's a universal experience in our modern world, this frustrating banging-my-head-against-a-brick-wall feeling when dealing with utility companies.

AAARGH!!!!!!!!!!
