The Return of....Mr. X!
Well, there are rumors in the air that our mystery electrician-extraordinaire, Mr. X, is returning either tomorrow or the next day to move the electrical box and upgrade us to 200 amps. He has the permit and the inspector lined up.
Currently, the outside electrical meter is attached to the piece of the house we hope to tear down one day. The back room made of cardboard (not original to the house).
But this move will mean relocating it in the basement in order to be compliant with Chicago code. And it's new location will be...
...right above the workbench area that A already lovingly put together and organized.
Drat.
So, now it looks like this.
And, um, don't ask where it is. Because in this picture? It's all behind me.
Ouch. My back.

Seriously nice workbench there. Too bad it is, well, no longer there there.

Wow! 200 amps.. you can do stuff with that!
Me + my girl have recently started living in high-needs house, and we hope to soon have our electrical box upgraded as well. We were at city hall geting a building permit for some stuff and we found out that the last permit issued on the house was in 1998 to upgrade the box from 30 amps to 100 amps. 30 amps!
I love your site, btw. You have a nice writing voice, and you manage to share the character of the house and experience very well.
