Here in Az, it's simple. Get your mate to run a cable, feed him with tea and cake, and 'hey presto' you have electrics. Presumably you have another mate with a fire engine who also likes cake?

Five o'clock came & the first coat wasn't quite dry, so the weather/food & refreshments were all shouting at me. Second coat now done. Weather is lovely here at the moment.
I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time

Today I was up and down to my garage working on the Coop, council chappy on his own filling in pot holes. Now you don’t get if you don’t ask… I have a car space piece of land next to my garage, but it’s just earth, I’ve been meaning to concrete or slab the first metre as this bit is sinking and my cars are scraping on the semi ditch that’s forming. Asked the council chap if he would have any tar left, explained my situation, no problem and no cost, I did insist but he insisted better..Happy days, I have practically the beginnings of a driveway next to my garage.

Quite a long time ago I came home from work to find a huge stack of large paving slabs in the front garden.
It turned out that the council was replacing the stone paving footpath outside with tarmac.
Our drive needed doing soon so, unbeknown to me, she had asked the site foreman what they were doing with the old slabs, and was told they would be crushed for hardcore.
Don't ask, don't get, but they crippled me laying them: 2 feet square or 3 feet x 2 feet and 3 inches thick.
16VT and X1/9 1500
We must all do our part for the planet. I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.
