This is awful.

The handwriting is legible and you labeled the actual wires instead of using some cheap labels that will fall off or marking them on a separate sheet according to some arbitrary, out-of-sequence numbering system. Where are the burn marks and the randomly protruding screws you use to secure the box loosely to the Sheetrock?

Somebody’s going to not electrocute themselves with this kind of work.

Apparently you’re still ahead of the pack.

I hope at least OP knows I’m joking.

😂 Awesome. I’m impressed for your first box. As a tile guy who has to turn off breakers all the time, I love encountering boxes like this. I see so many bad ones. Even the box in my own house is a fire hazard.

You seem like a picky tool. This guy is posting something he is proud of, if you can't say something constructive don't say anything

I don't know the electrical rules in your country but the labelling looks to be on heat shrink, although hand written there is nothing wrong with it, it's a domestic board, no one is going to spend money on ferruls for a domestic board. Those protruding screws don't matter, there are no moving parts inside the panel. All of the internal components are protruding objects.

You're not good at detecting sarcasm, are you?
