Water/Electricity Use by construction crews

Flipping off the breaker for the outside would be the most adult thing to do.

It's also smart. I had a construction crew plug in to one of my plugs once, and they yanked the cord out from across the yard. When they jerked it out, the cracked a window, but even worse they shorted out the gfci and damaged the circuit. Luckily I had it on camera, and it was fixed, but it could have been pricey.

One lesson it taught me was the consequences of moving into an "under construction" neighborhood. That and all the nails in my tires.

I will jump in and say some construction guys can be real nice. I stopped today at a new addition where a new home was in the framing stage. I was looking for a few short pieces of 2 x 4, 2 x 6 and or 2 x 8 for holding my grow lights above the plants as they grow. I'm starting my peppers and tomatos. The 3 guys were out front cutting material. All were Hispanic and spoke only a little English. They understood what I wanted and were very curtious as far as helping me dig through the pile of scrap and finding what I needed. I just wished I could tract them down when the plants are producing chili peppers. Anyway, not all of them are rude like most you find nice people as well as rude in the trades.

Also they were using electicity from their temp pole.
