I had the POCO here today to make the final connections to the service drop for my new service. The old bare neutral was a bit short so rather than extend it the lineman just bent it over and caught a few wraps. Does this look correct? (The old insulator was bent is being removed). The old drop connection was wrapped almost up to the drop point of attachment.
And I guess things must be tight over there at the utility company. Normally they put plastic insulators over the crimps. Not today, a few wraps of tape and you're to go.
