Default Electrical Wizards, Another Panel/subpanel question

gfretwell is exactly right about the need for the disconnects to be
grouped, I missed that. Whoever installed the second panel installed
a violation which should be fixed. So the second panel should be
converted to a subpanel of the first main panel, which would require a
4-wire feeder from the first main panel. Hopefully it wouldn't be too
hard to do since it is only 8 feet away.
