I dug up the old 2/O that I severed 10 years ago when I was digging. It was
corroded back 2" inside the insulation. I spliced the two aluminum wires
with a copper split bolt connector, tested all wires, turned on the power
and it works. Now all I have to do is fill in the hole. This will free up
three #10 wires for the generator. The generator is in the barn and the
main disconnect for the house and barn is in the house.
