The final step needed before getting our demolish permit is to disconnect electrical service to the house. Rather than going cold turkey, I installed a temporary service on the back of our garage. This will provide access to electricity during construction. When the power crew comes to disconnect the wires from the house they will connect them to this temporary meter which feeds a circuit breaker and weatherproof outlet. Due to the very real shortages associated with the supply chain problems it took me longer to acquire all of the components than to do the installation.
