Step 16 - Temporary Power...It's
Harder Than You Think
WE APPLIED FOR TEMPORARY POWER AND RECEIVED IT FOUR
MONTHS LATER....
In order to apply for temporary power, the cistern floors have to be
poured...and gray water cisterns don't count;
consequently, we started construction in the middle of May and worked
off of generator power for six months
First,
our electrician, Glenmore had to install a box--this was done quickly!
Then we waited, and
waited, and waited....because the island was out of electrical wire for
several months...
of course, there was no point in installing a telephone pole since
there was no wire. Then wire arrived... And a pole was
installed...progress!
Then the island was out of
transformers....so six weeks later...we got the wire attached,
a used
transformer installed,
and a meter positioned in the box--woo hoo! We have power! This website is for the personal
