Finally finished up today relocating the 2 circuits, threw in the fluorescent light that had been sitting in my dining room for a year or two, and made up a list of a few other things they want done, like motion lights, ceiling fans, and some new A/C lines.

The yellow bucket of staples in my van?
Those aren't insulated, you mean with that yellow or blue "crap" on there?
You have to use those in NE?

The owners only have three circuits? Is this like a house panel that feeds lighting in the halls, or does it actually feed a unit?

They are required in Mass. by local code and insulated staples are all that are sold in supply houses in MA, RI, CT. They sell uninsulated, but only in boxes of 100 and they usually sit on the shelf gathering dust.

Peter D, I did not know that. Everything's very regulated up there. I've used those kind before and they were a pita but I guess you get used to using them.

Actually, only 2 circuit.
1) The GFCI receptacle and fluorescent light
2) Basement lights and smoke detector circuit
They're both pigtailed inside the panel.

I see. What did that 3 gang meter pack run you? Here I haven't found one for less than $2500, without the mains.

$350 sounds about right. More if you include the breakers.

Maybe that's what cost so much, the breakers. I haven't bought one, I just saw a price sheet, and assumed the breakers were extra.
But even then, three 200 A mains couldn't add that much to the price... hmmm... I have the sheet right here... square D mp43200 $1496... What the fizzy?

Not sure how they're a "pita." They're just metal staples with a piece of plastic on them.
As for the regulation, I think you guys in New Jersey have us beat hands down.
