I'm wondering what is the proper way to transition from an LB on the outside of the house to the inside of my utility room where my Breaker Panel is. Can I use another LB and just turn it 90 degrees towards my breaker panel a couple of feet away?

Thanks

Here's where I'm at:

The LB would have to be exposed inside. Save a step and poke thru the wall right into the back of the panel.

This, back to back LB's are a ***** to deal with in addition needing to avoid buried LB's .

Sure looks like that was a fun trenching project!!

The part in the picture I dug myself with a shovel, excavator would do too much damage and I was trying to save the asphalt. Took me 5 hours of digging. The other 40 feet or so was dug and filled with the excavator while the guys were waiting for a load of gravel. Excavator saved me 2 days of digging at least and also was able to removed some huge boulders in the way. Here's a picture of them, check the bottle of Gatorade on top for reference:

We have lots of clay here( like ready to make pottery) hard as a rock when dry, sticky like peanut butter when wet, and heavy...... but no rocks...makes mechanical trenching pretty easy, hand digging, not so much..... NS, nice part of the world...
