Default sheetrock dust in distribution panel
Do you call this out in your report or do you feel it is not noteworthy?

Just wondering?

Agreed....simple fix ( blow it out) but yes it needs to be cleaned out of the enclosure.

Thanks to both of you.

Hey Paul... I may be attending your class in Sacramento on October 26. Depends on how busy things are.
