Can I add a 60 amp breaker line to this panel? As for upgrading the garage service from 30 to 60 amps, yes you can do it, but I wouldn't recommend it That type of breaker panel is no longer code valid, replace it outright with a 150 to 200 amp rated panel if you can If you do it anyway, be aware that you have to upgrade the copper wiring from the panel to the garage as well
DIY-Replace houses main electrical panel? - Mr. Money Mustache DIY-Replace house's main electrical panel?I am an electrical engineer and I would not do the replacement work on our 200 amp panel Too much liability risk and potential problems with insurers if I didn't route a wire exactly as code I did do all of the electrical, plumbing and gas line work in the RV we built but that is a different situation
Patio door - replace just the glass or the whole door?

My main panel has had stripped threads for several of the screws that hold the cover on, while not urgent I would like to address this The problem is, when I google how to address it I see ways that seem janky (fill it with solder or JD weld, drill, and retap), some that seem good on first blush (get a larger self tapping screw and just use that) but then I wonder

How high up should I cut this drywall? How high up should I cut this drywall?I agree, don't go up to the bottom of the trim Leaving a couple inches of space will let you tape and mud so it looks good I suck at mudding, so exactly how much space you need will depend on how good you are The guy who did the best job in my house needed 3 inches minimum to really get it looking good
