[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 10881, member: 250"] Hi Dan... If I do a complete rewire.. I do a rough sketch of each floor of the property.. Then using different colours.. and nice little blobs, boxes or triangles (or similar) I show the approx layout of sockets/switches/light fittings/spurs etc.. and the cable route order in a join-the-dots sort of fashion! It take less than 10mins to draw up... ;) staple it to the elect cert, and If it happens to be you who goes back in a few years time for alterations/amendments you are laughing!! :D If doing an addition to existing circuit; I just provide a clear written description of what has been added / removed / amended etc.. as it can be difficult the draw bits of wiring when you don't know where half of it goes!!! :( [/QUOTE]
