not harder. Boom, we got the wires all terminated. I put on the cover of the exterior disconnect. Now, I go to inside the home to help my bro Ken as he was wiring up the new 200 amp electrical panel. I start knocking out the circuit breaker slots of the panel cover and labeling the circuits. Using my lineman's to make the knockouts. After that was done, we turn on the main power of the home, put the panel cover on, and guys, it was time to get paid. Took 10 hours.
