As title suggests, I want to look at mapping out exactly what the wiring is doing in our home.
I've got a tone & probe and fuse finder, just wondering from the more experienced here, what the best way to go about it is?
Some should be straightforward; kitchen and bedroom circuits but lighting wiring isn't going to be as straightforward as straight up and over with the switch and fitting in line with each other (read: lining up together)
just wondering the best way of figuring out where the changes in direction are made and identifying them.
I have no intention at this stage to start ripping stuff out or adding circuits etc, I just want to use my home environment to help my knowledge.
Coincidentally this was brought about by a light switch in the kitchen which neither the Landlady or estate agents have any idea where it goes or what it does; I took the switch front off which wasn't even connected and could see wiring there from previous use but that's as fair as I got - going back to best way to trace the wiring, check if live and if so what it does and kill it if redundant.
