Greetings /diy/ I'm in the process of water proofing my basement and then I get to the my breaker panel and I'd really like to seal behind it.
Now I need to have work done on the service coming into the house anyways so I was thinking that I would have just skip this part of the wall, have an electrician move the panel, and seal over the old spot afterwards.
My question to you is, does anyone know if there is an Ohio building code that requires the panel to be a minimum distance away from exterior windows? Only thing I can find in the NEC is minimum work space clearance.

If you need to get behind it, just move it out for a while. (though, it is safer to disconnect the service first).
Lots of times we just unscrew them from the wall and hang them with a bit of romex.
Not an Ohio sparky, but I can't recall any code for that.
post pr0n of inside box plz. Looks like older panel but still good. Though I am a bit worried about how the wires are strung about it.

I do commercial low voltage stuff so I am not pleased about the wire routing, but I have seen far worse.

And the knocked this guy out for some reason.
I already rewired the basement outlets because the geniuses decided to run all the basement outlets through 1 GFCI.
Worked great until some random bullshit thing killed my sump pump in a rainstorm.

Indiana sparky here, I just puked.....
I would replace that whole panel and make it look a shit ton better but that because electricians are anal ass holes. I will say one thing, the nec and nfpa both do not say anything about that in regards to windows. But they both say it local code jurisdictional authority has the last say so on what needs to be done and with my experience of work in Ohio they are very fucking anal and picky.
