As for people being professional which should be the case it seems like the biggest draw back to this forum is people bashing which should have no place in a professional forum. The OP asked for an opinion has been answered in numerous ways now it become insanely personal -- do the monitors care? close or move on sometimes guys JMHI

FWIW, I just scanned back through the entire thread and I did not see any "insanely personal" remarks or anything that I would consider bashing.

Though I think is a stupid rule*, those white conductors landed on breakers need to be re-identified as ungrounded conductors.

*stupid because if you don't realize it is ungrounded when it lands on the breaker, a little piece of tape or other marking method isn't going to make any difference. Marking it in a junction box does make more sense, but being required at the breaker or other obvious ungrounded terminal I think is stupid.

Those are not white conductors on breakers.

They are red conductors which have paint on them. Start at the top of the panel, you can easily follow the ted and black wires across the panel and then down the right hand side. Then suddenly they become white. If you zoom in, patches of red are visible through the white paint.

Maybe so, I certainly can't seem to trace them all the way as they either pass behind the front lip of the panel or into a bundle of other conductors. Only one I see that might be obvious is the apparent 8-3 or maybe 6-3 that lands on the lower left 2 pole breaker, that one does have obvious paint on it.
 
the most obvious violation, the cover in not installed :lol::lol::lol:

Of course, the smaller size conductors are most likely white conductors from a NM cable.
