Default Sheathing

This was the exterior supply for the garage and another exterior building. Why would they do it this way?

The only "question" is - Why would they do it this way?

The only accurate answer would come from the installer. From anyone else, it would merely be speculation.

What's so surprising about the lack of response?

The whole drop (though not seen for the feeder),and sub panel need to be redone, but the question was why?

Chris be fair, as you did not answer either.

There is no answer that will be 100 % accurate as it will be speculation.
