    Oh boy, sounds like things are getting worse, not better. Thanks for the help everyone. Crap, that means I have to remove panels. Appreciate the direct links! Will move this to the conduit (or from the sounds of it, pull new AWG 8 wire). I'm aware, and this is something I'm definitely trying...

I wish finding a good contractor who isn't booking 6 months out was easier. If I wait too much longer, I'm losing my block for SMART...
