7:45 ish power went out today.
ran to shop grabbed all materials and tools to change out my house panel and a couple flash lights if needed.
First time i was able to inspect service feed wires, JJ warned me in old house sometimes they crumble when you touch them. all was good and got the old panel disconnected, swapped feed to new panel and got it hung and set.
took a minute to asses after the potentially sketchy part was completed, and went out to the shop to grab breakers, power came back on while walking to shop!
RGE email says power restored 8:42pm
now with an actual Main breaker on the panel to shut off, i was able to install and bring back most of the house, just need to grab a few more breakers tomorrow.
so nice to organize random spaghetti wires and do it clean the way you want!
success! win!
