Got screwed again

LB · #1 (**permalink**) 11-06-2008

Electrical panel in my trailer shorted out (or so I thought). Pulled the panel box out and traced wires inside trailer and tested, no problems. Tried to get new panel box, can't find anywhere the right size, and the manufacturer refuses to sell to general public...mobile home builders only (&^$^^*#*). So me & my brother repaired panel box (breaker assm. broke away from box). Dig up wires all the way to power pole tracing a short. Found both lead wires right at the pole (under ground) almost cut into. Just a matter of time before they shorted . Just had the trailer put in a couple months ago, so either the guys that wired the trailer or the A/C guys that wired the outside unit must have cut into the wires with there shovel. I know neither will own up to it, so I've been without power for 2 weeks and the cost to replace the lead wires.

That sucks! Assume you got it fixed ok? I hate it when people do shit like that and then won't admit it. They just try to cover it up and get away.
It's a whole lot easier on everyone if ya just fess up, say"hey, I screwed up, I'll take care of it"
instead of covering it up and having someone find it later and really get pissed.

Glad ya found it tho and got it taken care of.

LB,

Things like this is part of the tests we face on this earth but if you really want to know who did it, it's the guy with the smoking hair and he's holding a handle with the metal part of the shovel blown away.

The guy just figured anyone with such a nice looking Harley could afford to fix it more then he could.
