If it is an output to a shed or garage, the landlord owns it and is responsible for it . Either way, the power boards frequently state "If in doubt, ask . " They hate surprises . :stare: Tomorrow at 6 am is probably not a good day to call though, so wait until a fine calm day to call . "Beetling" it, either remotely or close up is probably not a good idea either . :help: Have a good (non-sparking) Xmas . |

| 623602 | 2007-12-22 20:49:00 | It is the power entry to the house....... the 2 wires come from the pole out on the street originally, and across to the house which is attached onto this wonky looking frame and then into house. so if attached to house its the power peoples prob? not house owners? or did i read that wrong......... and i promise not to go any closer to it:p beetle:D |

| 623604 | 2007-12-22 23:53:00 | The lines company or power board will look after it . Oh really? This haoppened to some people here - it fell off in some wind . The power company charged them for it - an enormous amount - because it was the part on the house - they said the house was at fault as it hadn't been maintained . |

No beetle budget strike is needed. If it comes off you are going to have a beetle electrified lawn with worms-a-leaping for the festive season plus spontaneous highland dancing displays by unwary visitors, pets and children. The good bit is that it is taking power before the meter, so you get all this live (temporarily) entertainment free. I doubt that you would be able to get th price of safety gumboots for beetle, kids, cats and dogs off the next power bill though. |
