I have to say, much like most of my projects, I put them off forever because I have a number in my head of what it would cost (with no real basis) so I wait until we have a bunch of free cash. Then I get quotes and it is like half of what I was expecting. I am an idiot.

Do you mind me asking how much this cost? Our electrical panel is a mess (over 50% of the breakers are labeled "general") and it would be great to see if there was some questionable stuff done.
