They finally came out and did their disconnect/ reconnect.
But not by following their own procedures...
My DIY splice at the neutral wire in September (necessary for removal of the old weatherhead to close off the roof before the rainy season), was actually faulty or became corroded over a few months. It caused intermittent voltage fluctuations. I reported the problem in March as if I didn't know what was going on.
PG&E comes out for "usual" problems like this upon a couple of months notice (instead of no action over 19 months of submitting an application for the 200A service upgrade -- click on photo to backtrack). They decided to replace my 2/0 wires with 4/0. Perfect. No need to press them on the status of my application!
What a hoot.
This area of floor was originally planned for tile, and thus, was sunken for the extra thickness. But I changed my mind. I used only screws to attach it, so future removal, if there's a need, would be easier (than if it was glued and nailed on).
...came together fairly well. The only foreseeable problem is having to remove the finished head jamb if the door panel needs to come off. There's simply no space to reach in to unlatch it from the rollers. The gap has to be covered, caulked and painted to look right. This seems to be the nature of pocket doors. As such, I've used screws instead of nails, and they're still visible under the paint.
