This question is mainly for those of us who use SE cable in our area...
After what appears to be 2 or 3 additions, a residential meter socket is about 3 rooms away from the service point.
Someone decided to re-route the SEU cable (no external disco) from the exterior and go about 60-80' through the attic and down an interior wall to get to the meter sockets (main & off-peak) which are now in a covered alcove near the middle of the house(outside). As opposed to re-locating the meter sockets and installing 2 Service discos and 60-80' each of 200 & 100 amp SER through the attic and down the walls to the service panels, I want to install new SEU on the outside of the house to the existing sockets. This is a real-estate transaction and I would like to keep costs down for the seller.
The job would entail running new SE cable about 75' around about half of the house(down one peak, across and up & down another, then 10' on the underside of this alcove which is 7'4" to the ground, and to the meter sockets. There doesn't seem to be any likelihood of exposure to physical damage.
Any thoughts?
