A call from a confused homeowner showed me my wiring diagrams were a mess.

I was helping a guy in Springfield over the phone with a panel he bought from me. He was lost trying to follow my notes. I had him read them back, and it hit me: my diagrams were just scribbles only I could understand. I spent that whole night redoing every one with clear labels and color codes. How do you guys make sure your install notes are clear for the next person?

Man, that's a huge thing to catch. I always try to picture the person reading my notes as being tired, stressed, and in a hurry. If it doesn't make sense to them in that state, it's not clear enough. I even get a friend who knows nothing about the work to look it over sometimes. Their confused face tells me everything I need to fix.

@finley939 what's the most confusing thing your friend has caught?
