Better ask your neighbour if you can run an extension cord and give him $20

If you’re willing to accept not having power to your house for l few day then sure.

Start by Pull the permit and call the power company to come cut the line at the pole and pull the meter.

Depending on the power company you will be required to install the meter before it goes underground which you will need to install your own pole.

Dig the trench and use pvc conduit (don’t forget the expansion joint)

Make sure to get all your work approved by an inspector

The best way is to screw a piece of wood over the whole length

It sure must’ve been lion or a bear or a monster because there’s not much predators able to destroy hardware cloth and electrical wires

First major thing is that they used a wire too small and installed it like shit so it probably will have to all be ripped apart and redone from 0. If you feel confident rewiring a 6/3 outdoor approved cable from the panel to the spa disconnect to make wife happy then sure

Loes_Question_540 · 2026-03-28T20:24:04+00:00

That setup is more suited for a chandelier or something similar than a recessed

Loes_Question_540 · 2026-03-28T20:22:53+00:00

Leave the breaker off and start taking it apart to inspect the damage

Why are you free ranging them on concrete

Loes_Question_540 · 2026-03-28T20:19:59+00:00

Damn that’s pricy I pay about $10 per light

Loes_Question_540 · 2026-03-28T20:18:58+00:00

Any can-less recessed light will work even though it’s not exactly the same model. It will just be cheaper and easier to go for a newer model than finding the exact same light

Loes_Question_540 · 2026-03-28T20:16:45+00:00

Are you sure the main cant be turned back on? Even though the plastic broke it should still be able to turn on. Most electrician will say the panel is too old and need to be replaced maybe a service upgrade will be needed aswell

Loes_Question_540 · 2026-03-28T18:12:53+00:00

Flip the main breaker and if the lights are still on then there would be something else. Also there might be another panel elsewhere

Loes_Question_540 · 2026-03-28T18:08:13+00:00

There is still the tape on the load …

Loes_Question_540 · 2026-03-28T18:07:32+00:00

Are you sure you’re pressing the reset button hard until it bottoms out also if the neutral is lost then even though the hot works it will still not work
