This wasn't a big mess to clean up, but had several safety concerns , which had to be remedied. #1 previous owner had built a deck with sunk- in hottub at the meter, resulting in the meter now being about 2 feet off the ground ( which can easily result in snow and water now being able to run down the meterbox and cause a big kaboom) but also the previous electrician had used only white ( neutral ) cables going up the mast that at the top had lost a big part of their insulationdue to neutral cabling insulation having different ratings and the UV exposure in conjunction with high Voltage caused the insulation to disintigrate.
Additionally I really appreciated the customer letting me work in short shifts on this job as springtime lambing and other farm craziness prevented me from doing this in a single day- yet the owners only had a full day of power down.
