Feel free to stop over and check out my actual breaker box layout.
You'll see that it is no where as simple as you are trying to make it.


Start out by numbering the breakers on each panel. Allow for expansion
of the panel isn't already maxed out. On a sunny day, turn off all
breakers except for the main and one load. Then search around for
anything that has power. Make a note of which circuit the load is on.
If the cover plates aren't painted in place you can note the circuit
number on the inside of the plate -- or even on the outside if
aesthetically acceptable. Then keep a list or chart of what load is
protected by what breaker.
