WHY ??????????

Improper sized or replacement panel cover?????

My guess, someone was bored and playing, unless you're not kidding or I'm missing something else?????

I am impressed with the charred finish though.

My favorite is the AHJ's tag which was attached to this panel. Passed with flying colors!! Besides the pics I posted there was a multitude of electrical conditions present all of which were blatantly obvious. I dont know who the bigger hack was, the AHJ or the person who did this crappy work..

But we all know that AHJs never accept any responsibility for bad calls.
