Default Service change out
Thought I would post some pics of a service change out I did and remember I'm real a commercial guy so be easy on me

Notice the one lug that has 2 wire under it in the old meter. I was called out at 1st because after they would kill the main part of the kitchen still ha power that wire ran to a old federal main lug panel in the middle of the house that they didn't know about
