I have a problem

Another point is underground utility locaters typically don't locate private lines. So if this line is homeowner owned, they would usually have to hire an electrician to locate it.

Randall we have a service here in Ok called (call OKIE) and they will free of charge come spot all utilities for a home owner so things like this don't happen

Up date on my problem house met with the electrical contractor this morning and he and the plumber have agreed to replace the total service with the proper amp rated feeds. His excuse for the wrong size wire was two different workers were working the job as the reason for the mistake. I let that stupid reason fly over my head and did not call him on it in front of the client. What he did not know was this was not my first Rodeo and I am getting for my client the proper sized feed wires and he got to save a little face with the client but he also does not know he will not be getting any more contract work in this housing project.

Thanks for your input
