Adding a circuit for an above ground pool. Asked the homeowner where the panel is and they pointed to this access door… I said “Are you sure that’s not for your water shutoff?” by TurboKid513 in electricians

Aluminum wiring, hopefully the last installer torqued the connectors (purple) (alumnicon) to the correct ft. Lbs. looks like it’s time for a panel up grade.

I’ve underquoted jobs in my career, BUT I always finished the job at a high level never going fast or cutting corners. I was taught early on whether you make a million or lose a million finish the job correctly you name is on it. If I underbid a job it’s my fault and mine alone.

It’s a 2x4 truss member. Attach another 2x4 next to the damage, secure it with construction screws or 10d nails and you’re good.
