I also like how he brought the armored GEC all the way into the neutral bar instead of stripping the armor. Maybe he just didn't know how to strip it.

Looks like he took a 30 circuit MLO panel and backfed a 100 amp breaker for a main. Since there are no main lugs present, I am guessing that's a GE panel. They used to make them with a pair of main lugs that would occupy the footprint of two full pole spaces. My guess would be that he pulled out the lug module and replaced it with a breaker (hey, at least there's a main)!

I sure hope that strap holding the main down isn't made of metal because it sure looks like it's crossing directly over the bus bar.

I am not quite sure that I understand what the sub panel is even there for. It seems that the main panel still has plenty of spaces, although getting wiring to them might be a bit of a challenge.

Now, what about what appears to be a 14/2 NM exiting the left side of the big panel? It looks to either be cut off or embedded in the masonry wall.

"Shares in the wire nut factory"....Now that's funny!
