Update: Fixed! Replaced the four 20A breakers with 2 dipole 20A breakers. The red/black adjacents on the separate phases were the ones the inspector was talking about, as the comments helped me figure out. Thank you to this community!

We recently bought a home and had a home inspection where the inspector noted the following verbatim: “There were strand(s) of three-wire being used for 120-volt breaker(s) (two hot, one neutral) in the main panel. Typically, when this condition exists, the breakers will be bridged together so that both breakers would trip at the same time to not have a shocking hazard. It is recommended that a bridge or coupler be installed.”

I am interested in understanding what he means by this, if this is an accurate finding (because the home inspector isn’t necessarily a certified electrician), and if the fix is something I could do myself or not (I’d just need to know which breakers to hand tie together). Pictured are the inspection notes he made and a picture of the full breaker panel. I can’t see where the two hot one neutral are sourced from so I can’t tell if any of the cabling is sharing the neutral. Any advice?

Old epoxied pipe left by previous homeowners after a basement remodel. What should I do with it? Any creative ways to cover it?
