Meter

[keymaker]

If my neighbor, beside my business would let me run a wire, How could I make a KWH meter so that I would know what to pay him each month??<p>
Seems like around here, the utility co will charge $100 per month even if you use NO juice, so I figure this is much better<p>
I can pay him double the going rate per KWH and come out wayyyy ahead
