circuit breaker directory

The reason for verifying all the circuits at the CAO was to provide this information to Tony so that, using Charles's label marker, he could label all the circuits. Big job.

David and I had tested all the circuits on the 3 electrical panels on Sunday mid-day. I wrote notes by hand. I transcribed my notes (as well as older generations of notes by Tony and others) into the computer, into a spreadsheet, in fact. So to provide clear notes to Tony. And to create a document for record keeping. I discussed the panels and labelling conventions with Tony and applied changes as he suggested.

Then it suddenly occurred to me, hey, I could repurpose this spreadsheet into a form that could be printed, making single-sheet labels! Ha ha. When I explained this to Tony, he stopped yelling at me. Hey, Mikey, he likes it!

It was fortunate that we had a guest on-site. Dean did us huge favours by shooting reference photos (with his phone camera, no less) and taking measurements of the existing labels and panel wings. Thank you, Dean!
