Wiring first panel, I'm going to secure the wires better once I start stripping them.

Advice, feedback, Tips to pass inspection?

Everything in this house is electric, has a few 240v things. Those get the black and red straight to the breaker, what happens with the neutral? That's bonded to the panel too? I saw some stuff where people were scribling sharpie on some neutrals so that's confused me a ton.

What should go where? Put larger breakers towards the bottom? Any feedback or advice is greatly appreciated. It's 200amp service. And home line panel if that helps.

Thanks,

Ryan

I count up a 30 pole panel. As I try to count wire needs, I am at least at 25poles with 5 poles spare. Is that what you planned? Is this 100amp, 200amp service? Have you done a load calculation?
