Right here.
Not so often do I do two panel changes in the same day at two different places. First set of pics, morning job, change furnace room equipment panel in basement of an apartment building 'before and afters'.

Second set of pics, panel suffered traumatic loss of smoke and required replacement. 220/221 special patented cable cleaning wipes utilized:

Hey Marc, in the first set of pics in the after picture, whats the switch next to the gfi for?


EDIT:
I'm gonna guess it was for that keyless light fixture?

I didn't use that panelling. That was a recessed panel in the wall of a late 60's kitchen. I didn't do such a neat job cutting the hole bigger, but the cover covered it all up.

Yeah, that was a sw/rec RS cover, as is my normal style for a panel on a board. The GFI for obvious reasons, and the switch for a keyless near a panel. In this case, it was more for the steam boiler, which was in a 5' deep pit right behind and to the right of the panel. That's why you can see the red cover of the safety switch on the side of the post, down low. That's actually within reach if you're down in the pit working on the boiler.

Didn't need any PPE to turn off the breaker for this panel in the meter stack in the electrical room. I didn't really expect so many responses so quickly to work without much sex appeal. It all pays.

1. Lot accomplished is one day

2. thanks for the "lead" on the cleaner

3. 1st time I've ever questioned your work. If the red switch is at the pit, does that put the panel over the pit (240.24 ??)

No, the pit was "L" shaped, and this panel was on the side of the post where the regular basement floor is. The pit was behind the post, and to the right of the post, in an "L" shape. Sorta weird, but I'm sure you've seen some of those big-old-honking boilers that they had to put in a pit in the basement because they were so tall.
 
Hmmm, I wonder if that fly fisherman prefers to use 12-weight or 14-weight fly line when fishing for marlin? Because you know, 12 (lighter) might be good enough for the fish he will hook when he goes out. :grin:
