Cable Guys - What's This?
#9
Yeah, no conduit ... in fact, the first line which was buried in conduit didn't work or was cut, so they ran a "temporary" second line from the box on the street to my box, over the ground (hence the two lines in) ... and the grass guys dutifully laid the sod over it ... so any one of 4 neighbours who dig in their yard have the potential to cut my cable line cuz it's barely 2" down and unprotected.

On the other side of that box is my garage - hmmmmm.

The buried feeds coming up to your house should be in a piece of pvc condduit (stubbed 4 inches into the dirt).  The really doesn't happen anymore.  Depending on how the feeds in your house run you've got a few options for securing them.  You could rerun the house feeds in through the back of the CSE or DP, then down to the electrical panel (where most services reside).
What's on the other side of that wall?
