When we moved to Wisconsin we bought an old farmhouse built in 1850, the farm had been divided up and the house was part of the sub division. Part of the purchase agreement was the developer would hook the house up to the sub division's power grid when they built it. After about a year we lost power, seems the transformer over by the old dairy barn across the street messed up, that's when I found out the underground feed for our house used a wooden junction box with a shingle top (wonder what the nema rating was on a wood box?) A year goes by the diary barn is gone and they start to tear down the pole and clear the lot for a new house. I inform them they can't do that, they claim nothing is feed off the pole, I show them the wood box and the wires going to my house. The developer tries to get the power company to hook my house on the new grid, no dice, the meter socket in non-compliant, developer balks, I point out it's been so long there is a utility easement across his lot by adverse possession, he decides a new meter socket is cheaper than refunding the money paid for the lot or dealing with me in court so he has an electrician install a new meter socket. Power company hooks up to the new meter socket, no way the house was at current code, most of it was 2 wire and some knob & tube. Went to re wire the house, it's log, can't pull wires up a log wall.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
