Old timer swore by zip ties on every wire bundle in the panel, and I thought he was nuts until I had to trace a short in a basement job last Tuesday.

After 3 hours of digging through a rat's nest of loose wires that someone left untied, I finally see why he said secure every 6 inches - has anyone else changed their mind about a senior installer's advice after a rough service call?

Got a buddy who zipped every wire on his first panel after spending four hours untangling a service call. Said the old guy was right after all.

@Gavine41 i mean zip ties are fine but you gotta leave a service loop or two in there
