Volunteer required: 4-5pm Friday 1st July

@members

Our electricity supplier would like to fit a smart meter. They have an engineer booked to visit between 4-5pm on Friday 1st July, during which time the power will be OFF in the space.

We need someone to be present during this time to make sure the door is open, and that all systems are working properly once the power comes back on.

Can we delay it so that we can get the new distribution bord in first?

@Courty

Actually I may well be able to be at the space tomorrow afternoon ! Be good to get them to install the new meter as low as possible. Agreed it would be good to get the new board in but I believe this is the second time they have tried to fit it. @tomnewsom, is delaying an option ?

Courty

We can reschedule if needed.

Is it not irrelevant to them what happens downstream of their meter?

It don’t exactly look safe.

It looks a lot worse than it actually is

We could put in a intrmitant bord , one of the single phase ones I got

Think it should be fine. Just prop the new board near the electrical area and say we’re about to have that installed…

Courty

We should tidye up a bit

They don’t care about safety.

I’ve been there when they’ve replaced it previously and it was much worse before.

Any further news on this @tomnewsom / @unknowndomain ? Are they still on for this afternoon ?
Will plan to be there from ~3:30pm

Courty

Have had no cancellation. Assume they’re still coming :slight_smile:

I can be there as well if is needed!

@stefanoromano, that would be useful as I will have to run just after 5pm - the change shouldn’t take them long but it would be good to have backup just in case they have a problem !

Courty

@peter_hellyer will be along too, dropping off a printer. Not sure how log for though
