On another thread, a poster mentioned numbering the electrical
outlets
to match the circuit breakers in the panel. While that sounds like a
good idea to me, I can't figure out how to do this and have the
outlets
still look acceptable.
Has anyone here done this in a manner that their wives think looks
good ?

Get some graph paper, and make a floorplan of your house- doesn't have
to be exactly to scale, just close enough to tell what the rooms are .
Mark all your outlets and light fixtures on the diagram. Next to each
outlet and fixture, put the number of the breaker that controls it. Note
that few houses are 1 room per breaker, and power strings often jump
around the house. Attach the diagram to the wall next to the service panel.

I need to do that for this place, but living alone, it would be a major
pain, even with a signal tracer. Lots of trips up and down the stairs.
With 2 people and a pair of walkie-talkies, no big deal.
