    Thoughts on moving an existing CU

    Local funeral place is getting a new mortuary fridge unit, and needs some work done. The CU, just for the room, is high up in the corner, just above the fridge unit. Stupid place to have it, as you need to crawl over the top of the unit to get to it. 2 foot of crawl space, and my dodgy knee...
