Need an electrician

[cookinwithgas]

So Im trying to get my house ready to sell and I am missing the cover on the electrical panel. I would like to find a replacement cover instead of having to replace the whole thing but it's pretty old. I'm attaching a pic of my neighbors one - if any of you know how to get a hold of such a thing that would be really helpful, if not, recommend an electrician to get this thing swapped out, thanks!

Take the pics to Hunt Electric Supply...they might be able to help.

Try to find a Square-D or GE stamp somewhere to figure out the maker. Take another pic with a ruler across the top and from top to bottom so they'll know the size.

You could always just get the make...and if they don't sell just the front covers...just buy a new box and remove the cover and put it on your box. Seeing how they did the vinyl siding, it might be a tight fit and getting in there to put the screws in.

^^^Probably your best bet...

I am an Electrician by trade and if you pay the airfare and put me up, I would be willing to do the work at a reduced rate.

pantha san, i might take a pic of my situation and see what you say.

Pantha...I have a question for ya. I have a Progress Energy lightpole (orange security light). The damned thing shines right into my window on the new addition. Would PE pitch a hissy fit if I cut into the conduit near the bottom and put a switch? Maybe a remote control one if I can find one?

Usually they do not like customers messing with the installation. Do you live in a neighborhood with a HOA? I would call them (PE) to see if they could relocate the light. Another option would be to take some metal tape (it's like a foil backed duct tape) and block the side that shines in your direction. Can you send a pic so I can see the relationship between the house and the light?

[g5jamz]

Negative on HOA.

I'll try to get a pic later. Not at home. Some of us having to work today...if you want to call it that. Dead around here.

Pole move request sounds good too.

[Darth Biscuit]

I bet this will move your pole.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Nc never fails to deliver.

G5, if you can get those girls to assist, I will gladly pay my own air fare....

I'm sure there is a parody thread in the title....I just have to think about it for awhile. But I'm have a hard time with it, I guess all the blood has left my brain.....no, no don't help me....it will cum to me.

FYI Hunt Electric in Charlotte - that number is not working and the main site does not have Charlotte listed anymore....

Strange...there's one in Burlington, NC. Call information. There's one in Burlington, NC...maybe they have either the number or the name of another supply company.
