As a frustarated homeowner, Im hoping someone can give me a glimmer of hope. We recently had a hot tub installed on our covered patio. Contractor came week a before and walked through it and said no problems. After hooking the unit up he realized he was short one piece to finish the bonding. He came back the next day and finished. As he was leaving he stated that he began to think about the location of the tub in front of the meter and didnt know if it would raise any concerns during the inspection as he had never installed one in front of the meter. I was a bit surprised so I began to read the code. PGE wants 3 feet in front of the meter. I have a a bit over two so Im not overly concerned. However, during my reading I realized a corner of the tub is under the overhead wires (although covered by a patio attached to the house). I called him and he stated he didnt look at the wires because of the cover overhead. I called the county and they stated that as long as PGE doesnt care about the meter, and its bonded, their fine with it, but they would have a probelsm with the overhead wires. I asked if the covered patio made a differecne and the inspector stated he hadnt seen anything addressing that or any exceptions. So, does anyone know if a cover makes a difference? If it doesnt, Im going to make my contractor either move the wires or raise the wires. Sound reasonable?
