hey sticky, tuff break bro... it is always good to respect the wishes of the owner of the house.. I feel your pain... lol.. I have had similoar situations arise early in my career.. lol..

can you give us some insite into your electrical situation... I, like jdogg am interested in how and why your meter took a shit on you... what does a fried meter look like? did the power in the entire house go out, when the meter got fried?

ilove you

stinky ... you rock : )
