July 10213 viewsToday we have a completed electrical panel. I am impressed with the finished look but more importantly all the circuits checked out Ok the first time they were heated up. No need to rewire anything. Sparky has completed the house portion of the job and will call PEA to come out and install the permanent meter. For now he moved the construction power/meter line over to the main house supply lines to give the house a temporary supply.2 commentspklongball
