Im in the process of taking my Contractors test but I primarily do new construction and of course im going to be doing service as a contractor.
I live in Oklahoma btw if that matters.
When rebuilding a service for an existing house that the riser is NOT going through the eaves and 3 feet past the roof line (which is what we do to new overhead services), Do I HAVE to go through their eaves or can I replace it the way they had it with the weatherhead directly under the roofline.
And also, what if the house itself doesnt have a eave to go through but fascia boards that stick out 2-3 inches. Do I have to 45 around those and up for the service if I cant bend the pipe?
Basically, for an older home can I rebuild the riser and weatherhead the way it was or have to go by today's code and take it above the roofline?
Do I
