Description: Lets move the transformers Bob. Alright but what about the wires? Easy we'll splice them. But won't it look like we did it? Sure, but as long as everything works when we're finished it should be fine. And the pig tails from the transformer? leave em dangling we don't need em.

Description: I was inspecting a group of buildings in a rail yard and this was one of the electrical issues I found. Power was coming in only 7 feet off the ground and yes it is live. The main service was moved and then re-fed the old service through the meter can.

Description: I went to a guys house in Kansas City, KS to look at upgrading his service so he could add a hot tub. I think if he had enough breaker space in his 100 amp panel he would have done it himself.
