Electrical problems at my house? Any advice?

[R Dubya]

We concur that the old setup was indeed a 60 amp drop, probably at least 40 years old.  You know I never really thought about it until he came over for measurements last night, and noticed that the lug boots were melted.  I had a dead squirrel in my yard about 10 feet away from directly underneath that cable.  Poor guy didnt get a chance to learn his lesson about running on exposed wiring!! :laugh:

All seems good for now, new cable and 150 amp meter box installed and everything is working as it should.  Thanks again for your time and advice.  I did at a few new circuits at the breaker box over the last year or so, adding light where there wasn't, adding grounded outlets for my computer, tv, pellet stove, and my motion light, so I think I exceeded what it was capable of handling.  Old cable, looked like it was wrapped in canvas type material. 

Thanks again!
