Well now that time permitted I replaced the load center in the guest house, why they thought they needed a full size load center for 2 rooms and 1 bath is beyond me, and why is was not placed in the wall instead of having it hang out over 2 inches also puzzles me.
In any case I replaced it with a much smaller unit and also recessed it into the wall as it should have been from the beginning, makes no sense that the load center panel was “Full size” for the 2 room 1 bath guest house, as with other work I have seen it would appear contractors used what they had in the truck to finish the job, as the house is not located close to building suppliers.
