thanks for the advice, I will check into the codes if I am allowed to do this myself, I do know some licenced electricians that will be willing to give advice. Learned a lot from them. My relative wants to hold off for awile anyway, after I gave her the price for the new breaker boxes, meter bases & everything else. I have some problems with just moving the meters outside. On the wall that they would go on, there is a cable line & telephone line that might be in the way or too close to where the meter base has to go. I have to check with the utilty to see where it can be set at. The biggest problem, & a safety hazard is that there is a downspout between the insulator & weatherhead. The service entrance cable runs up along the side of the downspout, & the wires are wrapped around the outside of downspout to the wires attached to the insulator, & those wires are up against the downspout. Someone put in a new service entrance cable a few years ago, & it passed inspection!
