Hey Mike I was working around your street today for some new fiber-to-the-home going in. PM me if you need any help running a new 220 volt line. I work with a couple guys from London Hydro that might do it for you for cash and be pretty cheap I'll ask around on Monday. It's not hard to do on your own though if you're comfortable working with it.
