I replaced my breaker panel over the weekend and replaced the SE cable
with 2" conduit and 2/0 copper. I have a 2' run down from the meter
pan, then an LB, then a long sweep 90 into the panel. Sounds simple
right...?

The 2' straight run was easy with all three wires then came the bend
back into the LB...
Then push it through the long sweep...
Then down into the basement to work the ends around the main
disconnect and pull through...
Then back outside to get the bends right and push some more...
Back downstairs and tug some more...
Back up to get the bends right in the meter pan... (careful those top
lugs will fry you)
Now pull the slack down to the LB...
back to the basement...

Short story long, glad I went with the 2" conduit.

As a newb, I think we all make the mistake of using undersized conduits,
once. Depending upon the strand count of the particular wire you used, it
was probably enough work getting it into 2", anything smaller gets really
ugly
