Power for the masses

Finally! Another part of our Previous Owner Saga has come to a close. Despite my photographic evidence the electrician that our previous home owner hired still claimed that the damage to the breaker box occurred after we purchased the house. I had taken pictures of the house when we looked at the house the first time as well as when we had our inspection. Guess what, nothing was ever fixed. Again though home guard was accommodating. The electrician sent them a letter saying the damage was after he had "fixed" the box so home guard accepted our claim. This time it cost us $300 bucks for the new box and breakers. It's a $100 deductible then and additional $200 to upgrade to a 200 amp service. It looks nice though. I had the electrician leave room at the top if I want to add whole house surge, or a lighting arrester. Perhaps a backfed breaker for a generator in the future.
