Take a close-up picture of the breaker section of your main panel.
and another of the instruction label inside the lid (especially the
diagram of the breaker connections) if it's still there - and make
sure it's in focus this time, guy... ;-P

(Look for a "Close-up" setting on the auto-focus, often the symbol
of a flower. Or figure out how to focus manually. RTFM.)

You may be able to use thin breakers (2 breakers inside a single 1"
wide body) or Quad breakers (4 poles in a 2" body) and make more room.
