I got a phone call from a kind 85 year old man who is selling his home.
According to the home inspection report, the "service mast" (actually 200 amp SE cable) is too close to a rear door of a 2nd story addition, which is accessible by an elevated deck.
The inspection report states that 10' minimum distance is required (we all know it is 3', per 230.9 ).
He is concerned because the 1st electrician pointed out that another window is about 15' away, and moving it that direction won't work.
When I explained to him that only 3' is required, he seemed relieved, but what about the 2 other guys?
Is it me, or what?
