Yesterday morning, ConEd knocked on our door to inform us that they were in the final stages of the work they've been working on over the past couple of weeks - well, months at this point. Alas, in order to complete the work, they had to "re-route" the power to the building. Thankfully, we have not been without all power over the past 48 hours, however, for the past 48 hours, all four units in this building have essentially been running off a large extension cord from the main line in/under(?) the street.
We're supposed to be fully back online sometime tomorrow, and once that happens, well... Then I can return to my regularly scheduled internet surfing and reading and posting without fear of a power surge knocking out my computer - which, alas, did happen to one of our upstairs neighbors.
