I thought panels were allowed to be located in garages.

Wife: Honey? Would you do me a favor and get me the pretzels inside the the pull up door cabinet.

Hubby: Sure, Sweetheart.

[As the husband reaches in.......ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT]

Wife: What was that noise, Honey?

[The room remains quiet.]

Wife: Honey, what was that noise?

[You can hear a pin drop].........

Here is the rest of the panel, the only way I could see it was with my camera.

On top of this, the homeowner turned on the water supply to the dishwasher, flooded the kitchen, and shut off the well pump breaker. Then after all was cleaned up, I went to look at the breaker box and could hear the well pump breaker shorting internally and was hot. I haven'treceived any feedback yet from the buyer about requesting to have the panel relocated.

That kitchen renovation contractor belongs in jail or school. I'm not sure which one.
