Have relocated back to the parents QTH as they are in their 90's & 
I'm the only progeny so they need an advocate to help them keep 
independent as long as possible. That said, they are not keen for 
change and drilling holes would lets nicely say; disturb their karma.

I thought of that but when I looked at the buss box, some idiot 
removed the pins the breaker slides onto, on the remaining bus slots 
by filing them down. So though the option to add another pair of 
breakers was there at one time, it's not now. 

Adding a piggyback breaker box is as problematic with them as 
drilling holes...

I understand it's truly easier to get forgiveness than permission but 
though the place will likely be mine someday, it is their house 
today...
