Well it doesn't fit. What in the world should I do? Should I get the proper size breaker or should I give it a haircut?

Let's just trim a little off and it'll fit. Breaker Breakek 1 9

I love a haircut

There you go, perfect fit Vidal Sassoon could not have done it better.

AllSpec Professional Property Inspections Inc is a home inspection company doing home inspection in Miami Dade county, Broward county, and Palm Beach county. I am a certified inspector by the highest and best in the profession my grandson. See picture below. His testing is second to none and he proctors all his tests and personally checks on my CEUs. If I get lax or out of hand he will suspend my certification. It is the most prestigious and limited home inspection organization on earth. He is currently researching a certified master board certification but he thinks some guy already register it. He is in contact with a major university to start a doctoral program in home inspection. http://www.allspec.us/

What's wrong with a 40% - 50% reduction anyways? Simply amazing!

I saw the same thing the other day for the first time. The panel you inspected looks older than the one I inspected. Maybe that Floridian electrician moved to California?

It is a Zinsco. And if my advice is followed it will be scrap.

Hope the panel was rated for Aluminum.

Guess after the haircut you better change those breakers to 20's. lol

It you don't use all the power you that the circuit breaker can handle you should be ok shouldn't you? Just kidding.

Hope you commented on the multiple taps on the breakers next to it. Oh well, it's a Zinsco and will be replaced; maybe.

Wow! I guess that's one way to solve a problem. Did you get the name of that electrician for the next job on your house?
