I think doing a really neat panel like that is a good thing

It will be there for the next 20 - 40 years and (most) everyone who looks inside will be impressed.

I lost count at the amount of panels that look like a out of work car stereo installer did the job

I do enjoy looking at those but I must agree, my panels are neat but some of those are just neurotic . I bet most of those guys dont work for themselves. And if one of my guys took that long to do a panel I would relegate him to outside work until he got the point. I square my wires off too but some of those look like they had a level put on them. I also think that alot of these guys just like standing in the same spot for a while. Hmm help the other guys hump wire or stand here for four hours cutting in a panel .....? Doing up a panel like that doesn't make one a better electrician it just means that you have more disposable time....And when your a two man shop time isn't always on your side...

NY Electricain.....nice panels but I personally hate the "comb over" with a passion. (Comb over is when you include all that extra wire before you land it on the breaker... ) And where I come from its always been Black, red, blue (not that it really matters)

I sure can appreciate the labels inside the panel... I have gotten used to doing that as well.

I agree with this and your previous post, I think you hit it right on.

We're not wiring the space shuttle here..... At least I'm not.

I would think the "comb over" with all that extra wire is a code violation.

I checked, but can only find 300.34, which is for over 600 volts and deals with bending radius
