SDG&E hooked it back up and I was good to go. I had to redo the stucco around it and do some patching on the interior wall, but it was worth it. I ran 4 20a circuits to my tank and ran a 20a circuit to the base of all of my trees in the yard, for Christmas lights of course. One of the best investments I ever made in my house.
