Thanks! The video editing is getting a little easier too lol

What about mitigating against shared neutrals? Looking for that info.

Forget checking the breaker, the first thing you NEED to verify is whether this is a 20 circuit panel or a 40 circuit panel. You have to check the panel data plate to verify this. It looks like a QO20 Load center, 100A, 20 circuits which means, you CANNOT put in tandem breakers. If the data plate is missing (which it is not in your case as I see it on the legend and on the left, inside the panel), count the terminal screws on the neutral bus bars. That will be another indication of how many circuits you're allowed to have as you cannot double tap your neutrals.

Thanks for the comment and your input. Truth is this video could be an hour long explaining every code and different options you can do, but I do agree you cannot double land your neutrals, so you can add another neutral bar in your panel. That’s just something I can’t put in a quick video so thanks for another video idea and I’ll try to get one out on that subject!
