Looks liek a few mix-matched breakers in there, I can't tell but would assume this is qo, but looks like a few breakers in there dont quite fit correctly.

I don't see any QO's in there. I see some homeline's, and possibly seimens or murray's. Might even be a BR or two in there

My vision sucks. I assumed it was qo or homeline and they were mixed in because the breakers don't line up.

Here's another panel at the same site:

See anything right here?




Yes it was built directly over the concrete "Christie Box" :


This panel is fed by the breaker I talked about earlier in the thread. (See post #14)

Yep it is.

The green cord on the left, into the grey plated GFCI, is the one that gives power to our booth. It has worked well for over ten years and the only problem we've had is when someone unplugs it or the occasional GFCI trip. I hate getting anywhere near this thing for any reason.

And did I mention that it is located about 26" above ground, measured at the TOP of the panel?

Everything is wrong with it. I like the earlier answer of throwing a grenade at it and blowing it all up.

Haven't given it a thought again till now and I'm going to bed so it'll have to wait.

I am looking at exposure to physical damage possibly or maybe even being in the range of the flood plain.
