Fine mount. Water does not go up and you probably used a knock out hole, so didn't have to disturb too much wiring. Still, do what you can to put a seal at the top so water does not find the mounting holes. What did you end up with for the branch breaker?

I don't work anything hot and don't recommend it to anyone. Black silicone is good. Put a big bead across the tops of all the boxes. When you move the aluminum wire out of the way while you drill and punch (or hole saw), the main lugs will all need re-torqued as they will likely be loose from...

Straight and level and seal it well.

It appears to be okay location but those incoming lines are too close to work safely. The left side is less crowded. Being licensed, I break the seal on the meter, remove it and make sure it's open, install the conduit and wires and then put it back in place....then inform the utility what I...

Sorry, I'm not up on the latest requirement for AFCI. How about a front view of your new panel? It really doesn't matter in this case, I would move the AFCI to the new box or go to the space that is not AFCI and put in tandems. As far as I know, tandems do not come in GFI or AFCI.

Are you referring to a Ground Fault Interrupter as "arc fault" "due to lengthening the wires to the sub Panel" ? A ground fault breaker is sensitive to prevent your electrocution in case of you connecting the circuit, including ground. They are required in baths and kitchens......appears the...

I would find 4 of the standard single pole on the right under the gfi and replace with 2 tandems, after checking to verify one of them is not heavily loaded, replace in 2 spaces and then put the branch in the 2 left. I'm not suggesting a non electrician get into your panel however.

I can tell you what I would do, but I can't give you advise to change things in there without an electrician. Sorry

Do you have an amp meter to check the balance of use on poles?

Are these all labeled? Make a list of the left and right side ampere ratings and note the 2 pole or gfi or standard.

I worked in engineering at Sq D Peru in 74 and know their line well. I'm bonded electrician. Take a couple photos of the present open panel. Wheelspinner is right, the 2 pole branch circuit will take 2 spaces. Breakers to 150 are available at low cost. Why are all of your spaces full? Do...
