Modified power panel

After several days of thinking, head scratching, and pondering. – I came upon this idea. I have A GE load center that currently uses three circuits – fourth breaker is a reserve (more info can be found on this thread: http://www.tnttt.com/viewtopic.php?t=20164&highlight= ).

This is the first install:

Wife (and decorator) wanted to dress it up a little (along with the wall paper and other stuff) so I spayed the cover with Flex Stone to give it a textured feel and re routed the wiring through conduit

But I was wondering if I could get rid of those boxes that I had plumbed at the bottom and move them to the panel itself. There is enough space to the right side of the panel for the two to fit. So out came the Dremel with a cutting wheel and the sparks began to fly. This is the result:

The top is a combo light switch and receptacle, the bottom is two receptacles. I wrapped the electrical contact screws on both units with electrical tape to insure a safe install and grounded both to the grounding strip inside the console. Shore power cord come in from the bottom. Everything works just fine and looks a whole lot better
