Kind of F#$ked

[Guest]

Im pretty much F$%ked.

The bank wont let me close on my house because a tree snapped the line, and so there is a live wire on the ground.

HELCO has no idea when they will get to fixing it.

My lease on my rental is up in 3 weeks.

Is it possible to extend your lease?

[Guest]

Most likely not, its a vacation rental.

Get an electrician to fix it.

Where is the service line disconnected from, the HELCO side or from your house to be side?

[Guest]

The wires snapped in the middle. My meter is on the house. It needs to be re-wired. An electrician can not do it.

That's a bummer. To bad my condo at Bayshore Towers is rented out, I would not have a problem with you guys staying there. Start thinking of plan B.

Helco seems to urge customers still without power to call 969-6666, maybe that would help, especially if it is a live wire. Here is the website where I found the phone number: http://bigislandnow.com/2014/08/18/some-...rom-power/

Ive called them multiple times, as well as the seller, and both agents. The Word I got this morning was, they aren't sure when they will start getting to personal peoples properties, as they aren't even done getting the regular grid up, live wire or not :/

I am hoping it will all work out in the next week or so, just really sucks and makes me nervous. I have one of those brains that wont shut off at night until everything gets sorted.

I still say that an electrician can make a down live wire go away.
