the red tip ones were the last 'new' from FPE. ....and the ones with the magenta tags are newer than the yellow tagged ones. Stabloks were not available for a while in the early '80s. (I was told that they'd "Lost their UL"). When they showed again,, they had those magenta colored labels.

But the story is getting better. I ventured into the garage today, I guess they ran out of staples, lots of the 12/2 put up with finish nails, seems to be working, guess you just got to hit them babies dead center. Honest, I'm not talking bent up nail, I'm talking nails dead center in the romex. electricianjeff

Is it the way I'm viewing it or is the entrance cable coming through the joist all that's holding the panel up? Along with the 2x4 in front of it?
This is certainly a different twist on the phrase "High Leg Panel".

Maybe the handyman didn't have any masonary anchors handy... or a drill bit, so he hung it high and screwed it to the floor joists.

Is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?

high panel's such as this, can often be ascribed to "high" installers

yeah Ian, no masonry anchors, roto-hammer, brains, or common sense! pick one, or a combination of all three

That one gives new meaning to the term "hack job". Wow. I am speechless. Anyone who knows me will agree that's a first for me. Ed, I'm with you on this one. Wow.
Stupid should be painful.

Maybe someone wanted to avoid it getting flooded?

IA Exactly, one drywall screw into each joist. The 2 x 4 served no 'electrical' purpose. I think he used it to store conduit for his other jobs. You can see a piece sitting there in the first photo. I was told this was a drug house so some things are making sense. I'm wondering why they went to the trouble of stripping the 3/0 neutral all the way back to where it enters the panel. Anybody have any ideas? electrician jeff
