Well this one looks pretty nice. I was thinking about the mattress on the bed. I was wondering if you might want to put one of those foam mattress toppers (3") on top to make it a little bit more comfortable.

I'm wondering why you would need a new panel for a house that is only 25 years old.

I have an 8 inch foam mattress that I sleep on every night. I might try that one first. RV mattresses universally suck.

Replacing the electric panel was a total surprise to me. Never heard of that before, and I personally built custom homes from $500K to $1.2M 20-25 years ago.

But OTOH, that panel is shot. Two breakers were actually burned out, not next to each other, and several wires were singed. You can't see it until you pull them out. It's a wonder the damn thing didn't start a fire.

And I've checked that box a number of times, b/c in the last few months, it has tripped breakers quite a bit. Never did that before this year.

My guess is, we have a transformer on the property line right beside our driveway, and a violent storm a few days ago caused it to pop like crazy, and maybe that sent a surge in, plus, that box has been getting overloaded a good bit, apparently.

So, total rewire it is. I can't chance it for the next guy.

Okay, back to fun stuff, lol.
