    NO EARTH FOUND ... can I change my system to pme myself?

    Think the builder ripped the earth rod out... Whatever happened there's not an earth now. Instead of installing a new one am I allowed to take the neutral from the metre and connect a main earthing conductor in a henley block. The street does have pme available, I checked. Is it legal though???
