    Best 'bang for the buck' garage cabinets you can buy at the store?

    The Kobalt cabinets from Lowes have survived two moves and have always served me very well. Easy to assemble (20 minutes each), easy to hang, easy to use! Metal finish looks nice all in all!

    Help with subpanel install questions

    1) right, but the exposed part doesn't need to be in conduit anyway (unless you want it to be) it is rated as its own conduit since it is service.

    Help with subpanel install questions

    Okay, so take this for what it is worth, but a few notes as I just did mine. 1) I believe the SER rater 2-2-2-4 does not require conduit as it is service line. I assume you are using it as extra protection? or is there a reason you are using it? you should be able to run it straight through...

    So hey, this looks very nice. I like the idea or using a bit of romex as a wire label. I just wired my own subpanel the other day, and while you and I have different applications, I have to say, yours is quite neat and tidy. Well done!

    Does a building inspector nail you for unpermitted work?

    I had an inspector come and do a permitted roof inspection. I got a letter 2 weeks later saying the deck work I was doing was unpermitted (Complete tear off of decking AND RAILINGS which is apparently what I needed the permit for) and I needed to get it signed off. Went down to the township...
