I think it depends where the poles are located (public or private land) but I'm not totally sure. That's certainly the case when you "pay" for a new transformer, you would expect PEA to maintain it then of course.

If the poles actually belong to your neighbour it can't hurt to ask if you can piggy back on them (for a fee of course). There is always a risk that in future you might have a "falling out" with them or subsequent owners of the land and suddenly find yourself without power.

I suggest your first port of call be the local PEA office with the address and the meter reference of one of the existing meters (so they can accurately pinpoint where you are). EDIT A Google maps printout wouldn't go amiss too. They will tell you where they can install a meter, how big a supply you can have (important) and be able to point you at a "contractor" who can give you an estimate. I put "contractor" because most of the PEA offices have crews who will moonlight for jobs like this. Our poles were put in (on a Sunday) by a crew driving a PEA truck and wearing PEA uniforms, the poles are stamped "PEA". Pay the foreman in cash! I think we paid about 15k for 4 poles and 60m of single-phase wiring, but that was waaaaay back in 2011.

Our place is on two chanotes, we didn't bother but I understand it's not a mega task to link them. If your land office is crazy busy like ours, they may be reluctant and require a little "lubrication". Nobody said anything about our house which does actually overlap slightly, the second plot would need an easement to access it anyway so would never be sold separately in our case.

Feeding Hershey's to any living creature will kill it! Revolting stuff!!

"Storage damage" to three cameras? Yeah, right! Must have been a power surge! Back in the early noughties my digital camera actually did have a hard drive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microdrive

Must have been brake failure

If they had body cams, they would be able to prove their innocence!

At 18.2mm2 I reckon you're good.

CGI and DeepFake skills an added bonus!

Look for flat blade ferrules, you may need to take a picture to your local electrical emporium.

Aren't those intended to interface Aluminium cables to copper rated terminals?

He did not however say that the batteries had to be charged and the devices turned on

Which Powerex charger would you recommend for this task?

A cheap DIN mount consumer unit with a bit of activity with a file/saw? Mega Home have a decent selection of plastic boxes which should do the trick too.

We've used these chaps on a couple of occasions for minor repairs 13.991966375827987, 100.57600452001147 I'm not really sure on their prices for a blow-job (someone else was paying both times) but no issues with their work. Worth a call, Thai only of course.

Seems to have gotten "better".

I'm sure the molasses-spraying drones are being fuelled as we speak https://airqualitynews.com/2019/02/01/50-molasses-spraying-drones-tackle-air-pollution-in-bangkok/

Do NOT smile at a woman, in Asia you get a smile back, in the UK you'll get a smack in the kisser! Ah, and said ladies are of "slightly" larger dimensions, but still English Roses.

Yeah. It certainly works with NiCd and NiMh but I wouldn't risk a Li-ion, too much danger of conflagration.

I get the gold and red Panasonic AA and AAA from Lotus's, I'm pretty confident they will be genuine. They seem to have reasonable life but we only use them in clocks, remotes and mice/keyboards all very low-power devices. And once the mouse stops working the battery will probably run a clock for a few months too.

Yeah, a lithium battery of any flavour is dead dead if it goes below a couple of volts for any appreciable time (even over night) ????

Very possibly, but our land office is so chaotically busy that they would be more interested in getting rid of you ASAP than actually answering questions in a meaningful manner.
