Default Does she need a bigger breaker box?

The main breaker is not in the middle and doesn't have a lever going up
and down. It's in two of the side slots and when on, faces the wall.

My big mirror is in the car still, but I found a small one. Only 60
amps.


I'll see her Thursday night at a meeting and tell her the bad news,
which I guess she already knows.

When I went looking for more info on this, I got two unrelated hits from
Edmonton. The US might be a little more liberal. I've never tripped a
breaker except the GFI breaker for ground fault reasons.


I'm curious. Is it the same builder that built your house? It this all
part of the same sub-division? If the same builder he probably used the
same specs as your house. What do you have? It does not seem right of a
1980 house.
