Reply to "Mission Creep"

@Arthur P. Bloom- Early in my career, I did a lot of new residential work. We used to put a half- sheet of 3/4 ply on the foundation wall for the panel. In the days before the internet they stayed pretty empty. Today even that's not enough. I also had German foreman, Gunther, great electrician and troubleshooter, but he was not the neatest and we used to give him grief about it all the time.
I like the 66 blocks and will incorporate them next time. I wired my house for internet and TV when we bought it and have a Leviton Home Control low voltage panel to keep everything organized.
@romiller49- I've been using all the left over wire I have from my contracting days, 4-wire telephone, and Cat 3, and 5, for lighting. The track power is mostly 16/2 speaker wire. This layout will be replaced after the kids are out of the house so I will develop a standard and stick to it for the next one.
@Consolidated Leo- Not horrified at all. Just pointing out what I'm sure many of us go through. Yes- I need to sort out all of the lighting and get it cleaned up.
@Putnam Division- I hope you are taking notes Peter.
@OddIsHeRU- You have a pipe organ in your house? I worked on one briefly in an old church years ago. Very neat machines.
@gftiv- That's what happened yesterday. I have a notebook where I keep wiring diagrams, etc. I sketched out the terminal block for the lights so I don't have to guess next time.

Thanks for the comments.
