Time bomb

[e57]

Have coffee and looked up and spotted this gem - hope you can see it...
It's an older service location with 12/3NM drapped to a newer 100 or 125 service drop location as temporary - from the looks of it several years temporary.... The brue/gray's it's connected with look pretty sun baked and the red phase tape has faded to grey....

Fire waiting to happen IMO....

A women walked out with a few month old baby and I had to say something - wrote all the POCO info down and told her what she needed to ask for...

So ahhhhh.... No thoughts on the free air capacity of romex, or it's UV resistance? Or temp connections lasting many years with non-weather proofed or non-rated al/cu connections for service conductors?

OP has 12/3 NM on a 100a service with wire nuts.

Alright a newly enhanced - yet still bad cell phone pic....

Having a digital camera on hand is not a bad idea. We provide one to all our foremen, in case anything happens - a picture is worth a thousand words. You can get one for $50 that'll do the job.
