Post your pics of big resi services you've done!
I am a big fan of excess, and I made my own house no exception.
Post pics of some of the larger residential services you've done.
Here's mine. House is 2500 sq. ft.
400 amp meter disconnect with two 200 amp breakers, and the screw is not in the bottom of the door, that is why it isn't flush with the rest of the can, FYI.
200 amp main panel with 100 amp generator sub (future use, I have no generator yet). All the panels are Siemens P1 Bolt-in Loadcenters. It was a nice thought at the beginning, but have you ever priced a AFCI bolt in breaker? I wish I didn't have to.. 
Garage 200 amp panel, which will eventually be used to feed the outbuilding(s).
and the second floor panel, complete with the "Christmas Light contactor".

Disco-cool
If your MCC are getting hot now theres no reason to check torques, wire sizes, ect. Simply run a 1" PVC to the nearest suppy air duct and your set. I bet the guy that did this didn't think about when the heat comes on!

Who uses air cooling these days????? That is just so.... 90's! Water-spray cooling open panels is much more efficient!

To all of you previous posters:
Your pictured good work is real nice. The bad speaks for itself . . .
Chris Kennedy: I am kind’ a naive, is that really your home service, or are you being facetious? How many sf is that home? Are you one of the gentlemen pictured? They seem to be quite proud of the install!
480sparky: I am nostalgic after viewing your SqD service pictures. Did many similar temporaries at Walt Disney World, Florida (era 1967-68) before they opened in 1971. My installs were the same as yours, code compliant, nice and straight, plumb, square with the world. The POCO at the time was 'us' under fixed price contract, and we did the primary distribution also.
Quit using the tools about 1981, and sure missed them!
Merry Christmas Everyone and Best Wishes

The picture is a blow up unusual for the extent of the damage at 208/120. Utility line side fault.
The mismatched fuse was one of 3 disconnects all had different issues.

Those are Anti-Sweat panels for all the refrigeration cases and boxes in a Costco supermarket.
