Tell me more of the faraday cages. My joe is making our storage barn very insulated against EMF and anything else. We have a meter now so that helps. Do you know what they are putting on the gas meter, new measuring thing they put on your old analog meter. It pings and transmits every 20 seconds. We have a shield for it. Do you know about that also. jaime chimner

Joe and Jaime Chimner from Cheboygan, Michigan. WE STILL HAVE NO ELECTRICITY. Mr. Dennis McKee is putting in his boots on this one. Unfortunately this weekend our generator gave up the ghost. If anyone can contribute towards another generator that would help us keep Jaime’s air cleaners going. Thank you for all of your comments and we were not told of a medical Hold and they refused to let us have the analog meter to this day. We are ok. Jaime tries to use her nebulizer when she is supposed to and she seems to be having the most trouble dealing with all this but we are keeping our spirits up.
Thank you Joe and Jaime Chimner
Cheboygan, MI 49721 231-627-6374 or joechim@att.net

Interestingly I received notice that there is a new sunset provision therefore the Opt-Out fees will expire after 3 years.

Faraday cages will stop all r/f . A number of “shields” for smart meters are available, just use your search engine(s)
Caveat: If you purchase one of these, and place it as directed, place your name , address on the tag and print out “Property of ————- Please remove for inspection and replace afterwards. Also run a ground wire attached to the “cage” to the incoming conduit just above the smart meter base or to the ground rod(preferred)
This shield , properly installed will stop over 95 % r/f and give you some relief.
Remember your health is more important then the utility.
With the cage “leashed” ,and secured usually by magnets to your meter base, you are not interfering with with “the powers that be” Don’t let the shield touch the meter.You must of course still pay your power bills.
P.S. I make these cages myself, and they work!

We’re working on getting an update about the Chimners and their contact info and will post when we have it. How is it at all right to allow some people to keep their analogs but not others, especially in a medical situation like this!

They were playing nice for awhile but their true colors are showing.

Is there any contact information for Jaime and Joe Chimner, so that we can send them a financial contribution and an encouraging note? I feel terrible that this is happening to them.

What is the “opt out” meter though? I’ll put money on the fact that it’s a digital meter and digital=smart (or rather, dumb). An analog meter is the only type that avoids adding dirty electricity to your wiring.

I opted out. Must be a different company. Costs though.
