It sounds like you have a small coal fired power plant on your property and they are stealing a few megawatts every hour. How much is your house costing? How much power are they taking while they wait for their supply to come up? Try to imagine that it's your house that has a holdup for some reason and you really need power or the tradies cannot get their work done. As long as I did not see this coming from my site pole, I'd consider doing the neighbour a favour, let them know when you see them next. Then enjoy the warm fuzzy feeling of nice.

I wasn't paying for the power so didn't really care! find out if you or the builder is paying the power bills, if it's the builder then it doesn't really matter U mentioned u wernt paying so u didn't care? so it was during the construction stage then ? Yeah ill have to find out what the story is! Yup, during the build/construction. It really isn't a lot of power at the end of the day, as someone else said, save the battle for something more worthwhile perhaps, like something inside your house 'A bottle of wine contains more philosophy than all the books in the world.'
