5 different boxes at the main location in the basement garage.

3 boxes in the front right basement room

By the time I hit the five panels in the basement garage, I was done.

Get an electrician to straighten it all out. More problems than I'm going to list.

There are faults in every panel from the look of it. Lucky, tho, the place is still standing and a nice old home it is.

How did you report all those panels? Did you give them names like Garage sub #3?

It's a beautiful old house that hasn't seen much updating at all other than Mr. Electric handyman piece it together guy.

Electrical ?? Eh, Still working on report.

Basic will be. It's a stinking mess with so many issues I got tired of writing them. Get an electrician to go through and fix it all along with any other things he finds wrong.

Sure did close the damper on the first fireplace quick. Shone my light up the flue and saw a racoon's ass disappearing up the flue.

[] Better the ass end then the teeth and claws.

Heck ... remove them all and combine all branch wiring into a legacy FP panel !!!
