[Amps] Labeling house circuits

[Carl]

I did all the electrical work here and added several extra circuits for 
convenience from the beginning and wound up adding another smaller 100A box 
for expansion years later to feed the garages/outbuildings where I run 
compressors, welders and other tools.

A clipboard is right next to the main breaker box with ALL the pertinent 
info which includes a breaker numbering schematic. An index card is taped 
inside the the smaller box cover.

The boxes along with the generator circuitry are in a dark corner of the 
basement when the AC goes down so a good junkyard battery, a float level 
trickle charger, and a 12VDC trouble light are very accessible. The last 
battery lasted 18 years and the generator is 23 years old.
