To answser Mike's question.. The black romex's are a 10/3 for an additional dryer and a 2/3 which the homeowner had used to feed a new subpanel.
The little bit of info I got outta this guy re: the panel is that it was installed by "an electrician" thats a friend of a friend kinda deal...
[Linked Image] The service call originated as for a bunch of can lights & a couple ceiling fans that kept turning off and on sporadically... I asked him if the lights were installed by the same person that installed the panel, he said yes.. I told him that was the problem [Linked Image] Anyhow, the panel pictured above had POCO seals on the meter and their lug compartment, which means this was approved right where it sits.
