Another good trick is to label each outlet and light switch with the number of the circuit breaker its connected to. Things such as a big label on the valve: "MAIN WATER CUTOFF" are also a good idea.
Centralized documentation is great, but who reads manuals?
- nucleardog 3y agoLocality of the information is important. People will see comments in the code. They may even bother to read a README.md dropped in the same folder as the files they’re looking at. They probably won’t look in a docs/ folder in the root and they’re almost definitely not going to go search Confluence. Centralized documentation is great for high level information. “Here’s an overview of the water treatment system.” You know where I wanna see instructions for resetting the alarm after cleaning the filter? Beside the filter. Most of my “home documentation” is sharpied pieces of masking tape stuck around the place.
- bluGill 3y agoDon't waste your time labeling each outlet/switch. While it can be useful at times, most of them will not be used before some other project requires moving the breakers to a different position in the box and then they are worse than nothing: if you trust them you get a shock!
- h2odragon 3y agonah, those projects get secondary, subsidiary boxes off one of the 6-0 feeders.
- bluGill 3y agoYou still need to have room for the breakers that feed those subsidiary boxes. Most breaker panels are only rated for those higher power breakers in a few of the slots (not anywhere), and thus you have to move lower power breakers around to make room for the higher powered ones.
