If the stairs are the pull-down type, or if there's just a hatch, no way would I put breakers in the attic. That's just me.

It's also not legal. Overcurrent devices must be readily accessible per 240.24

What's wrong with permanent stairs? That makes the attic readily accessible.

I know. I quoted the second part of what you said.

What it says is that any raceway installed outside and above grade is a wet location.

An enclosure is not a raceway.

This is the new service on a K&T rewire we recently completed and recently passed inspection. NM enters the box below the panel from the crawl space under the house, then transitions to THWN-2 at the box to the panel.

Yes, those two LFNMC's are less than 24".

Heeey

What's that fancy looking ground thing under the meter can?

Intersystem bonding terminal. I like the look of these over the wire type. Much cleaner.

Personally, I'd never put a plastic box that low to the ground. It would be busted up by lawn mowers.

It was my original intention to cut out the wall behind the panel on the inside of the house, and run all branch circuits into the back of the panel.

That idea got shot down. Home owner wanted original lathe and plaster walls and ceilings preserved as much as possible. We finished the job with minimal damage to the inside. Home owner was made aware of the drawbacks of this design and accepted it anyway.

Big mistake. Anytime I just don't feel like complying with some homeowner stupid request, I just pull the ol' Sorry , it's not allowed in the code book....................

I think if the client wants something done in a specific way, they're willing to pay for it, and I can do it and meet code, then I'm obliged to comply with their wishes.

I'm curious why you used Carflex instead of #80?

Because apparently I'm a hack who swindles his clients with substandard installations.

Got a link? Also, isn't the bare ground #4. Why the conduit, or is it #6.

Home Depot carries it.

It is bare #4. I just like the look of the conduit as opposed to the other style.
