    looks like new siding, POCO probly hooked up long ago when it was fastened properly, then the roofers/carpenters were too cheap to hire an Electrician to properly remove and reinstall service, happens all the time.

  • Why did the POCO even hook that meter up?

  • That's actually really funny.....

  • Homeowner put new siding up.

  • Heh. I just paid an electrician to fix this very issue with my house. You could reach out and touch it from the bedroom window.

    They're installing an aerial mast off the top of the meter so there isn't an anchor above the garage then that big, ugly, gray wire snaked across the top of my house like that. Just pole to mast.

  • what was that electrician smoking?

  • Nice!!

  • It is safe to touch that wire, and not an electrical code issue. As it falls under a grandfather clause (it was right when installed). Now days you must protect from physical damage.

    The danger is that the drip loop (power co. connection) must be 3 ft from a window, or door, and at least 8 ft (weatherhead 10ft allow 2ft for loop) above traffic area's. This includes that deck.

    Now changing out a panel with the power on, that is ballsy.

  • The US should underground it's domestic power grid.

  • LAZY LAZY LAZY!!!! Just take the money and run. Right?
