Crummy Contractors Continues

Contractor is asked to remove a sub-panel in the basement.  He is also asked to make sure that electricity in the kitchen is satisfactory, or must be upgraded in order to allow a remodel.  

Contractor removes sub-panel.  Contractor caps the wires where the sub-panel used to be, but does not cover the panel (electrical hazard and code violation).  Contractor says that the kitchen will be fine.  But, homeowner learns later that, in fact, the system doesn't have near enough capacity to survive a remodel.  Everything has to be re-done.
