Our first trip out to Rattlesnake Island yesterday with grandiose plans of getting the place opened for the season ....... WRONG! Quickly learned that a large birch tree had come down behind the house and fell across the power line .... pulling the entire electrical service (meter, mast, etc) off the back of the house (not to mention a sizable chunk of siding as well). Can anyone suggest a good/competent electrician in the Gilford area who is willing to do island work. From speaking with NH Electric Co-op personnel yesterday, evidently the power company is only responsible for maintaining the connection to the house (i.e. in my case, to the top of the mast) and everything else between the top of the mast and the service panel is the owner's responsibility and is why I need an electrician. Any input would be appreciated!
