Awesome video! Definitely looks faster and easier than the old way, turning off random breakers and seeing if the guess was right. I'll definitely buy a circuit tracer the next time I do any electrical work!

Nice to have question marks next to the labels.

It might be a good idea to simply number each circuit breaker and put a label behind an outlet or switch wallplate with the corresponding breaker number, that is how they do it in commercial buildings.

That's a good idea. A permanent marker is too permanent, now that we know how often these circuits can be rewired.
