This is how the electrician is going about fixing our concrete-bound electric pedestal. I had Sheri surreptitiously snap some pictures so I could make sure I have a good feeling about everything.

I had to talk with the city's electric inspector last night and tell him exactly what the issue is and how the electrician proposed to fix it. The inspector is going to stop out today and take a look to make sure everything is OK. He said it is against code to pour concrete directly against the pedestal for exactly this reason.
