Yet still waiting for PG&E

Back when the old main panel was changed out, the electric meter was temporarily removed. PG&E is supposed to follow with a disconnect and reconnect at the weatherhead, then add a new seal on the lock ring on the meter.But while waiting for PG&E to do so, which takes forever, conceivably the meter can be kept "unplugged." All that's needed to bring in power are conductors about 1/8" thick and 3 1/2" long to bridge the incoming hot leads (top) to the house leads (bottom). The width between the two hots is 2 7/8" on centers. A rimmed wood block, for example, fixed with copper bars (to prevent shorting) can be inserted in place of the meter. And to be discrete for the meter reader, online accounts show which days of the month they come by!Their delays are getting so absurd, it's truly inspiring some creative thinking.
