Alright sparky's...let me have it. Here is a service change out we did today. We had to move the service about 8' to allow for a new addition.
We prepped one day last week by installing the plywood, new panel, and exterior underground meter base.
This morning we got the trench dug open and hand dug to expose the existing line for the electric company. That was done by 9. They showed up at 12:30, cut power and we completed the exterior. They
livened us up and off they went.
My partner and I tagged teamed the changeover in the basement. We were able to re-route quite a few feeds directly into the new panel. The others were separated, junctioned and tied in. We were done by 5. Here's the two panels before and the new panel. My partner did the panel...he does a nice job I think.
Here's the foundation that was dug today after the old service was dead. You can see the new service on the left corner.
