I am never installing another subpanel again. What a pain.
It's a pain, but gives you a lot of flexibility for wiring. When I did mine I priced the materials to do it myself, then got a couple estimates for having someone else take care of everything. Getting someone else ended up costing me about about $500 more, but the guy knew what he was doing and finished installing the panel, four 110v 15 amp receptacles, one 110v 20 amp, and one 220v 60 amp in under two hours. I gladly paid the extra money, because I would have studied the problem for two hours before getting started!

It wasn't bad, it's mainly me just being a baby. 1 ought is hard to work with.
My old main panel had 7 unused ground screws. I went to use one for my ground lug and it stripped. Went to the next empty one, it started to strip too. Then I noticed 7 grounds that had been joined with other grounds. So whoever wired the house had a tough time with them too. I was able to join a couple more with each other and that freed up a space for my lug.
The outlet tester shows everything wired correctly. The gfci trips as it should. The two hots are showing 245 volts.

Posted this in the Shop thread but Ill toss it here too My cabinets are mounted. I also have one more tool cart I bought at another auction (auctions are addicting) that I am picking up in the morning. One of these days I'll start working on the jeep again. Torque boxes, sliders, hydro assist, body mounts, sub mounting, savvy trans flip and OTK steering all need done this year.

How long has that hydro assist been sitting in your shop? 🙃

He's going to rightfully talk about how much he works on fixing our POSs! I have so many projects on the bench it's killing me.

A baby rolling toolbox!
This actually could make a decent welding cart, it's only 22" wide and 12" deep. My welder is 19" long 9.5" wide🤔

He admitted to having a problem. That's the first step to getting help. 👍
