Whoever did the electrical wiring in this apartment should have their license revoked.

1) the circuit marked "bedrooms" serves literally every lower outlet in the entire place, including both bedrooms and the living room, and the only place to hook up an AC ...

2) it took me 5 tries to find the breaker for the dishwasher. The one labeled dishwasher didn't turn anything off. Eventually I found that the one labeled "kit lights/living room" turns off the dishwasher

  @aaronpk Prior to when we had our generator installed, me and my wife did an "audit" of the breaker box. With both of us on a cell phone call. I would hit the breaker and she would run around telling me what had turned off. 😡

  @aaronpk We just had our house remodeled and they installed another breaker panel that doubled the number of circuits. Some Saturday I need to map out a good listing of everything.

  @aaronpk yikes. Is there a sticker inside the breaker box as to who installed and approved it?

  I can't wait to overengineer the crap out of the circuits for my new house.
  
  Yesss give me 20A outlets on the ceiling and at twice the minimum density on the walls, preferably on two different circuits!
  
  And why not throw a few floor outlets in there while you're at it
