Re: Find the service panel
Eric,

Is that kind of like this. Notice the hinges on the wall unit. I never knew there was a bathroom behind there until I couldnt find the GFCI reset and the realtor opened the bookcase.

Re: Find the service panel
Would love to see them re-setting a breaker in the dark!.. Looks like a hardwired smoke alarm inside the cabinet? Who's gonna hear it?
