DIY Home Renovation-the utilities

The 1956 fixer upper projects are coming together.  There have been some surprises for sure.  After several days of arguing with the power company and provider we finally convinced them to send someone to verify there is indeed no meter at this house.  While my DIL was on the phone trying again to explain there was no meter and where ever they turned on power…it was not at this house, an AEP Supervisor that lives near us drove to our house and confirmed we do not have a meter or power.  He located the meter the company assumed was ours on an apartment/garage building at one of our neighbors.   They had given it our house number as an address.  After a lot of discussion it was decided to give us back our address and re label the neighbors garage apartment.  Our meter is now installed on a pole outside the backyard that will have to be moved to the house by an electrician.
