All right, Chris. So, let's give you a little test here. What's the size of this? And what's the size of this? Just by looking at it. Just by looking at it, this is a 320 amp service. And right here is a 200 amp service. That's correct. Now, it could be 300 amp, could be 250 amp. It's the maximum allowed by the National Electric Code. That's mistake. Maybe by the utility company. Right. Without a CT cabinet is 320 amps. Once you get over 320 amps, then you need a CT cabinet, which is that big sectional cabinet with a meter that's off on its own. So, yeah, right away you can see this is a 200 amp and this is a 300 amp. And this is one's better because at least it's using a 3-in conduit right coming out. What type of conduit is that? That's a looks like a that's PVC PVC. Just a standard elbow. This is a nice installation. It's got a nice strap here. You can see it's done really well with the connector. Mhm. You can see this one here on the bottom. So, there must be when I see two parallels like this, you can see this LB and then this LB, there must be some barrier wall or something here that prohibited this guy from going in. So, I bet you from if we were in the basement, I bet you there's something here that would make this guy have to sweep in and go underneath. You can see there, too. Yeah, that's some big pipe right there. All right. Thanks, Dad. Get
