What am I doing wrong here ? Just had to take out two single boxes and replace it with a 2 gang box so the spacer would fit for my backsplash. I wired it all up the same and now they don't work. All the breakers are back on.

Don’t do this
Got called to this house for unrelated emergency and garage smelled unusual, not a gas leak. This roll was feeding an electric heat pump and temporary hookup while customer was waiting for a panel upgrade. It caught fire while I was a few feet away, quickly shut off her main, disconnected this line. My only conclusion, since the breaker never tripped, is that the high draw caused so much heat in this tightly coiled romex and melted the outside jacket. I think it might have a lower melting point than the individual conductors? Thoughts?

When in doubt 90 it out 😁🤙🏿

My entire career has been industrial with the exception of some small residential jobs. My neighbor wanted me to troubleshoot a problem he was having (nothing to do with the picture). When I looked at his panel I noticed the main breaker “on” position was down and it’s not installed upside. First time for me after 40+ years. Anybody else seen one of these?
