Daily Home Renovation Tips每日家裝修秘訣

Today’s tip is one of my pet peeves of contractors; more particularly, electricians.今天的秘訣之一，我的寵物peeves承辦;更多，特別是電工。

Label the gosh darn on-off switches that are in the main electrical panel, will ya!標籤gosh石壩上小康開關是在主要的電氣小組，將亞！

There is nothing more frustrating when one needs to turn the power off for a certain electrical outlet / light switch.有沒有更令人沮喪的時候，需要把電源關閉，為某一個電源插座/光開關。 You know what is going to happen, right?你知道將會發生什麼，對不對？

The light switch you need to turn off the power will be the one that is the furthest away from the electrical panel.該光開關，您需要關閉電源將成為一個是最遠的距離電氣面板。 And, of course there is no label on any of the on-off switches which lead you to even guess which one of them provide the power for the area of the house containing the light switch. ，當然是沒有標籤，任何有關對小康開關，導致你甚至猜測，其中之一，他們提供的權力，為該區的內務載光開關。

Why are the on-off switches in the electrical panel never labeled?為什麼是對小康的開關電器小組從來沒有標示？

Are electricians lazy?是電工懶惰？ Well, to be honest, there is something to that, IMO.好，要誠實，有一些東西向，國際海事組織。 There are building codes and electrical codes and laws of physics which electricians need to adhere.有建築法規和電氣法規和物理定律，其中電工，要堅持。 But, none of those codes indicates that the wiring or rewiring job is not finished until the switch box is properly and accurately labeled.但是，所有這些代碼表明，該佈線或重新佈線的工作是尚未完成之前，開關箱是適當和準確標示。 Or, do they?或者，難道他們？

So, today’s waste of 1/2 an hour with a dozen trips up and down the stairs from one end of the house on the main floor to the electrical panel room at the opposite end of the house in the basement was not enjoyable.所以，今天的浪費1 / 2 1小時與十幾個班次的向上和向下的樓梯，從1月底的眾院就主要請電氣小組室對面的結尾部分的家中的地下室是不愉快。 Of course, not all contractors, electricians and the like are plain lazy and do just enough to get paid and then leave.  I am sure any electrical contractor you would use would never do that.當然，並非所有承辦商，電工和平原一樣，是懶惰的和做的剛好夠得到支付，然後離開，我相信任何電業承辦商，你會使用絕不會這麼做。 I will always be your neighbour who encounters this situation, right?我將永遠是您的鄰居誰遇到這種情況，對不對？ :-)

And, if you are the home owner, for gosh sakes, when you actually do find the on-off switch on the electrical panel that is the one you want, label it yourself!和，如果你是在家的業主， gosh sakes ，當你這樣做，其實找到關於小康開關對電小組，這是您想要的字，標籤，它自己！ No, you will not remember the next time you need to find it again.沒有，你會不記得，下一次你需要再次找到它。
