This leads to a pdf explaining the basic stuff:
Anything below the high water mark needs to be replaced. There will be a lot of really busy people over the next few months. It seems odd that a homeowner can rewire his principal residence but has to hire a pro to wire a weekend home.
Typically if your second home is never rented and you are not selling it soon, you can still get an owner/builder permit.
BTW this is something most people do not think of
******************All the more reason to consider using UF or THHN/THWN in a raceway if flooding might be an issue. I used Smurf Tube and individual conductors in my addition. It really did not add much to the final cost and provided some great benefits.
There isn't much space left in that box. The news people are using the words historic and unprecedented to describe the flooding. The Platte River runs across the state east to west and floods almost every year. It's wide and shallow so freezes up. Ice jams cause the flooding. The name Nebraska is based on an Oto Indian word meaning "flat water". The flooding is mainly in the eastern third of the state. Frozen ground, snow melt, and a storm called a bomb cyclone made a lot of rivers overflow.
Dummy attack on my part. I just looked at the 7 conduits and
2 cables going in. I didn't realize how deep the box is.No idea.
