What is kind of funny in the world electricians deal with is this. The electrical wiring and especially the panel is very important in the success of a job. Because the 'electric' is invisible, and usually so reliable, most 'consumers' do not think about it and it is given very low priorty. So the location of a panel is given very low priorty and stuffed somewhere it is hard to get at later.
Now a problem occurs and we have to access the panel and it becomes more costly.
The first person to complain about how and where the panel is installed is that same customer.
Here is a typical scenario:
" Why didn't you install an outlet there when we were renovating? Because you said the $7,500.00 marble countertop put you over budget and you could not afford it."
The mentality of an average customer is that we (electricians) are very low priorty until something does not work.
