He HO wants me to change out the panel and then add a dryer circuit. His house is concrete block so i was just going to go underground. Im not sure what i will be getting into with all the weatherheads so i dont hack it up like it is now. Might just do the dryer and leave the rest.
Any thoughts.

Yes it is. Im afraid of what i will get in to if i change it. I know hes not wanting to spend alot so i might try and talk him out of it.

My experience when I have a customer with a mess like that and he does not want to spend money is to run

I like that idea.

I always ignore the part about the customer not wanting to spend a lot because that is none of my concern.

Give him your price to fix it properly. If he doesn't want to spend a lot, he won't use you. If he decides that he needs it done, you got a job at the price you want. Win-win for you.

i have a feeling there's also a panel inside behind the meter. You'll find doubled up SEC's on the meter.

Thats kind of what i thought to. Im not one to judge people but from just standing outside and kind of seeing in i dont think i want to go inside to do anything.

So you did not go inside to check what all you may be getting into?

I can see why it would be hard to bid.

I would call that a drive-by bid.

Could always bid it and see what happens but looks like you will be dealing with a lot of three wire sub feeds that may have to be upgraded to four wire.

The weather head celebration is a new one to me.

Most probable scenario here is Cletis will come along and do a 1/4 price job with a few can I du dis threads:thumbsup:
