@Robert S. What is NEMA 3R designation?

@James Free Exactly. A padlock would do the trick. @Jim K., @John Underwood, @Mike McCarthy I guess as long as it is up to code, it shouldn't be a problem where it is. Unless you live in a really bad area, maybe! Then inside would be better.

@Andy Webb Another electrician wanted to move it into the small bedroom closet but my understanding is that that's not up to code. 

@Will Gaston, @Matt P. She has anxiety and it is a matter of fearing someone will have access to it and shut it off. I told her it will be locked. I think I will have to talk to her some more to get her to realize it's not a big deal.

I'm updating a 1950s 2/1 900SF home in South Carolina. The electrician suggests upgrading to a 200 electrical service entry with through the roof mast and relocate existing circuits into a single EXTERIOR 40-space 200-amp panel box with a main disconnect. The panel box is currently in a corner of the kitchen and the refrigerator is pulled away from the wall to allow access to it. In the future I may put a counter there or something. Guess you could put a small shelf under it for now to make use of the space.

I don't see the problem with it, but the person who is moving into the home (a friend of mine) is freaking out over the panel box being relocated to the outside. I live in Wyoming and mine is outside so it didn't seem like a big deal to me and would give more options in an already very tiny kitchen.

What are your thoughts on location of the panel box? Thanks.

Can you update us on how things have been going? I bought a 2/1 in Cayce that I am in the process of updating.  Thanks.

@Jeff F., I have been following your story, too. Real estate is pretty expensive here in Cheyenne, so I bought a little 2BR rental in SC where my family is that I am fixing up to rent (to a friend there).  So I am amazed at the scope of what you have been doing here in Cheyenne!

I have used CIT. No problems. Like Synchrony better. Just seems to be more user friendly and most online savings accounts end up having close to the same interest rate eventually.

So much to think about and so little knowledge and money! I think I will start researching just to see the feasibility of something like this here in Cheyenne.

@Abraham Anderson How is your project going?
