If the "non-electrically connected house" is requesting

connection to Edison, ...simply inform them that a

current inspection is required.........Oh, and BTW,

replace those corroded conductors, because they will

not pass inspection today !

You wouldn't pass them today would ya **ICE** ? :-o

Nobody has made a request. They have no reason to suspect that there is a problem. The service upgrade was done along with a solar install and all was approved. The outer sheath has rotted. Some would say, so what....the outer sheath is just there to protect the insulation during transport and installation. I don't know for sure but I think that it shouldn't be falling off like snake skin.

Could I say yes to this today? I don't like the wire or the weather-head....so no.

That's easy enough to say when nobody is asking me to say yes.
 
That does not look like a power company hookup to me. That looks like the ec did it and power company was never called in. BTW if that wire is rated for sunlight and it is just the outer nylon jacket then it is really not an issue. The nylon part of say- thhw is not part of the listing as it is installed just for ease of installation. You can call southwire about it for verification as that is what they told me.
 
Do they even have a meter? I wonder if anyone reads it.

Regarding the pool - it looks a bit too shallow to accommodate the diving board.
 
There is a meter. It came out of the original panel. Edison is being paid.

Ya that pool looks too shallow for a diving board. The lady that owns it is certified 5150. She has health problems and a daughter that's in worse shape. When Code Enforcement cited the property it was covered with TJD.

The only thing that I asked her to do was get the wiring disconnected at the service.



And in case you were wondering, my non-contact tester said that this wiring is energized.
