As a part of all this we also decided to upgrade our original 1950's electrical system with something more modern. We took out the old outside box and replaced it with an upgraded 125 amp box.
Building code required us move it to the left a bit. Below the old box is the gas meter and new code requires that gas and electrical not be on top of each other.
We centralized the two sub panels into one sub panel in the garage and lost the old breakers which were probably more of a fire hazard than a safety feature. It's generally not a good thing to hear your electrician say, "Gosh, I haven't seen these in years."
All this has been happening over the last few weeks along with everything else. But now the texturing and paint is all that's left to do on the electrical upgrade.
