I have a personal problem with orderliness (toilet training? 
:embarrassed. I may close my eyes taking a shower and count birds, but I thought you were all nuts, but I started to think about how I stay sleepless at night worrying about how i have nothing to worry about and actively search to find things to worry about so I can worry myself to sleep.

It's good to know that I'm not the only nutty guy out here! :laughing:
Yes, I have used labels when we rented a home out down south so to help the weekly renters.
Anyone, well I'm sure MossRoad has..
I even laminated a how to sheet when we lose power and have to switch over to our portable genny so if the wife or her next husband has to do it when I'm away. On second thought, how do I rig that up so he becomes impotent?
Yeah, I made some labels.... and a schematic of the system, too. :laughing:

Got an old microwave oven sitting around? Take the shielding off it and mount it under the beer tapper lever... think about it. You can figure out the rest.

Good thing you aren't dyslexic.... it's like DOC.
What an excellent idea! Your OCD is very informative.

Now this I don't like to see, dirty faceplates. Many of the other items listed I sometime do, but never obsessive about them. Counting geese, steps sometimes but not always. Faceplate screws, never really thought about it and likely wont notice afterward(I tighten them snug(sometimes too snug) and leave them at that. Money in billfold is mostly kept in numerical order for convenience but not always so I do occasionally go thru it to trim it up and face them all in the same direction but when I get change, I generally just stuff it back in my wallet however I got it.
Man I cant believe all the things some of you guys obsess with. Maybe I have some OCD but don't realize it because for years now almost everyone on TBN seemed normal.

When I recently moved in all the outlets and many of the switches had paint on them. Heck to the NO!
I decided to stick with the old school Ivory, I replaced them all. There was no way I was going to use the nylon cover plates. I absolutely hate the buckled / wavy look to them.
I checked all the big box stores for stock via their app on my phone. I spent a fair amount of time rummaging through their stock but there were some weird combinations that Lowe's/Depot wouldn't have.
For instance a 4 gang switch plate with one of them having a D-hole for my volume control. Another was a 2 gang with one hole being a duplex to accommodate 2 switches mounted horizontally.
I think the electric supplier was relieved to sell me what amounted to relics. He said nobody uses these anymore!
