The electrical problem at the studio is more serious than I thought. We will definitely be closed all day today, Thursday, January 31. There will be no PM classes as I hoped. At this time, I have no idea if we will be able to open tomorrow morning. Of course, I’m hoping to be able to but it’s out of my hands.

Because of the power outage the answering machine at the studio is not working so you will not be able to call for status reports as I previously suggested. The only way I have to get word to you about when we’ll be open is by email and on this web site. If you’re interested in knowing more about what’s going on keep reading. Otherwise just pay attention for further updates.

Our electrical meter has failed and needs to be repaired by our electrician. Because the meter is the interface between GA Power’s outside electrical lines and our internal systems the County requires us to get a permit to initiate the repairs and then an inspection before we can turn the power back on. The good news is that our electrician is on the job already, arranging for the permit and beginning the repairs. He thinks he can be finished today so the big unknown factor is how soon we can get a County inspector to come sign off on it. Stay tuned for progress reports.

Apologies for the inconvenience. Let’s all practice patience, understanding and acceptance. I am grateful that Pat Murphy Electrical, Inc. is on the job. They rock!
