Service Entrance Change
Called out on a service call on a rental because the tenants were hearing a arcing sound on windy days and found this old service. Told the owner he needed a new service installed.

Very nice looking in the after pics.
What size was the inside panel? Looks like the house is being fed through a 3/4"?

The inside panel is 30 Amps with the screw in fuses. The landlord didn't want to change it out at this time.

Looks like a nice job, with the exception of the fact that you used a capped ell. Blech!
