I don't do residential, but how long should it take to drill out a house of that size?

I see a lot of great work, I enjoy looking at pictures of the super neat panels.
However, I definitely agree that it is a waste of time.
Making up a panel that neat is no different than using a level on an underground PVC pipe run. Do you make sure that the trench floor is perfectly flat so the pipe run is perfectly straight? Why not do a neat job there too? In both cases the work is going to be buried.

Nope. I also agree that it is a waste of time. But I'm probably a little biased since I'd probably have a hell of a time trying to get one to look that neat.

Someone should start a thread to post pictures of the cash saved by not making up super duper neat panels.

Hahah...me too. I have a mental block against doing things that have no value and waste time.

Using a level on an undeground pipe cannot be compared to inside of a panel. The pipe will possibly never see the light of day again, unless a repair or replacement is necessary. How many times is a panel opened back up to add a circuit, trace a fault etc
I try to do neat work within a resonable time.

I think doing neat and clean work in general will help lead to more jobs in the future. General contractors do inspect work on their sites. When they see jobs well done they will remember the pipe and romex you ran, not to mention a panel that doesn't look like a rats nest. My panels aren't anything special but they look okay.

I personally like the neat panels. I can do a pretty darn good panel in a reasonable about of time. Nothing wore than getting called for service work and having to deal with someone elses rats nest.
