A Timely Fix

So here's a handy tip if you suffer water pouring down a wall directly onto your electrical panel- run! This unexpected and potentially tragic situation presented itself due to those now infamous ice dams backing snow melt up under overflowing gutters. Diligent chipping and re-directing flow away from the wall stopped the active leak but water and electricity are never a good marriage.  A neighbor's father (and former CLP employee) reccommended constructing hoods out of plumber's putty and a strip of plastic. Bob did a nice job and the reults are even festive...

Although a careful analysis of this picture cause me to groan and my eyes to roll heavenward. We have a lot of work to do... just look at that wall above the box! Add it to the list!
