Hey all:
I am installing some outdoor receptacles in my back yard. I would like to use a 20A breaker, if possible. I can do all of the wiring up to the service panel, but I get a bit nervous at that point. I have attached a pic of the current panel layout. My question is if I could replace the single 15A breaker in the middle (bottom lights and plugs) with a double 20A. Since the panel is full, I am trying to find an opening, and it seems like it might work. I just don't know if it is proper to do so. Any help would really be appreciated.
