Just noticed this when getting a new AC installed yesterday. Not sure if it's a bird or squirrel nest, or even active. It's super high up that I don't have a ladder to reach, also I am not super cool with being that close to electrical wiring but I feel like it's a hazard that needs to be removed. Anyone else experience this and what you suggest my approach should be or what service might need to be hired?
Probably an old house and the downspout was there first, though it all depends on where in the world this is.
Our next door neighbor's house has power come in like this and it was built in 1927, before it had electric. Our house, the electric is buried per code for newer construction and ours was built in 1997.
It's not the power coming in like this as such but how close it is to the downspout. And I mean, if the power has to be there, the downspout really should be moved.
