Its a criminal offence to cut nsp tag and remove the meter its theirs they own it.
What I've been up to.
Been helping out my wife's nephew get the rental unit he owns ready to sell. Installed new stairs and railings and did some other trim work to get him out of the jam his "buddy" left him in. Still have to make custom nosings to go from the laminate. They laid it over ceramic tile so stock nosings are not thick enough.
Here's a before of the upper stairs ripped out ready for new risers and treads.

pm sentIts a criminal offence to cut nsp tag and remove the meter its theirs they own it.
Was thinking its up to $1000 dollar fine/time in jail but still a slap on the wrist.On the generlink topic quite certain everything has to be put through nsp as the transfer switch is part of the meterbase.However i am not certain on that as ive never installed one.pm sent
I've never heard of doing this but it makes sense when you think about it. Less load should equal less chance of arcing when tripping the main.Good practice and safety reasons also by turning off all your branch circuits there will be no load across the incoming phases hooked to your main breaker when its opened or closed.
I'll be doing it this way from now on.
A hell of a lot safer that way I'm sure!!!Sorry got more info they pop the meter first and don't care about the seal Does that do it ?? says by the time they get a notice at NS power they are done and all is back to normal I have no idea but leave it to a caper and please not recommending this for anyone
Do it the proper way and call for a disconnect
Well that was fun. Got my new counter top in. Never knew you have to cut the counter top to fit the wall (belt sander) . As I am typing I am eating dust, good god its every where.
Re done our Kitchen tile floor ripping up first tiles I put in , damm things cracked , not from lack of motar or proper install , they simply chipped like crazy just vacuuming , wife wanted a thicker more resilient tile , used the air chisel taking them up , dust went everywhere 😂😂😂 what a day that was washing everything downWell that was fun.

Need to do that here! I have some cracked ones too!
Take them up with shovel , easier and less dust , let's just say wife was not impressed with my methods of removal 😂😂Need to do that here! I have some cracked ones too!
I hate them honestly. I had some nice charcoal/sandstone antique rubber tiles that I put down in the kitchen in Calgary that are ideal for kitchen, bathroom or basement. Got them from home depot years ago, peel and stick seam, and they were awesome! Tough, not cold on the feet, not slippery for the dog and looked sharp!
Home hardware has a new tool simular to a roof shovel for shingles but it has a very flexible blade to get under the tilesTake them up with shovel , easier and less dust , let's just say wife was not impressed with my methods of removal 😂😂
Tile is hard on the back, especially while working in the kitchen. Oh yes, and drop a water glass on the floor and you will be picking up glass shards for a month of Sundays. Oh, I know you can buy a matt to place in front of your sink, especially designed to relieve back stress . Well that’s all good until you forget it’s there and catch the edge of your shoe on it while making a move towards the dishwasher and spin out off control, grasping at anything on the smooth counter top, smashing your waist into the edge of the counter, then bouncing off the recycling bin at the end of the counter and hitting the floor with a thumb, knocking the wind out of yourself. The next day, my waist and ribs were a facsimile of giant grape gum ball from one of the old fashioned gum ball machines. That Matt became a flying carpet straight out the patio door. Needless to say the floor is bare tile once again.I hate them honestly.

Why the hell were you doing the dishes, thats your problem. Stay away and be safe 😀Tile is hard on the back, especially while working in the kitchen.

If you haven't put down new floors yet, consider LVT - Luxury vinyl tile. They don't need the same stable base as ceramic, can be grouted with an acrylic grout if you wish and are much warmer than ceramic. But they look like ceramic tile. Very simple to install too. We put them in our kitchen in 2014 and they still look great. Oura are 12" x 24".Re done our Kitchen tile floor ripping up first tiles I put in , damm things cracked , not from lack of motar or proper install , they simply chipped like crazy just vacuuming , wife wanted a thicker more resilient tile , used the air chisel taking them up , dust went everywhere 😂😂😂 what a day that was washing everything down
Yup. Had that happen to me. Kent made rhe counter 1/4 inch too long and in addition to that I had to trim the inside corner because if the mud making the corner a bit out if square. Royal pain in the a$$!Well that was fun. Got my new counter top in. Never knew you have to cut the counter top to fit the wall (belt sander) .

You gotta be more careful at your age injuries happen easier and last longer. Plus what TS said, you know “ woman’s work”.Tile is hard on the back, especially while working in the kitchen.

Been busy playing pool/ snooker. Painting couple rooms. Playing my guitar(s) and shooting some hgs.
Not sure bout some of the comments above as I don’t find ceramic tiles cold but maybe cause we keep the heat round 70* F here. Tiling isn’t hard to do but the cutting should be done outside. Only room upstairs with tile are the bathroom and the foyer tho. Rest is hardwood except one bedroom which is carpet but will be hardwood very soon.

Put that floor down long ago , I'm Brick /Stone and Tile guy by trade many yrs ago , Been sticking Ceramic down ever since , just enjoy the look of ceramic when done right , whole issue is get the right quality of ceramic .If you haven't put down new floors yet, consider LVT - Luxury vinyl tile.
