    It's one thing knowing the rules about what you can and can't do in the electricity meter room, but another to actually get anyone official (including Energy Australia) to truly care… unless you have that fire ozelle57 referred to.

    We have 2 meter rooms (2 buildings) – both were filthy and one, in particular, was full of the sort of rubbish referred to above. There were also useful things, like spare balcony and roof tiles.

    So we put up a notice informing residents about the date of a working bee to clean up the meter rooms. I knew this would not lead to a massive number of unexpected volunteers – but the point was to warn anyone who had stored their junk there that they must claim their stuff or we may throw it out.

    In the long term, we hope to build a separate store room. But for now we at least have some clean spaces, easily accessible electricity meters and even a place to keep the spare light bulbs and fluro tubes. It works for us.
