It may be a task, but get all your appliances separated from your wall outlets.
-Microwaves and garbage disposals create a lot of electric noise for other electronics and draw close to the max 15amps. So do space heaters. A bad motor could fry other expensive things.
-You don't want a vacation home fridge failing because a kitchen counter GFI (which you didn't know was inline upstream) somehow tripped while away.
btdt and cleaned up the black puddle before emptying everything maggoty inside. gag. never want to do that again.
-Overlap circuits by having a live outlet tie in from another room will allow you to fix an overhead light in one room at night and be able to see what you are working on. An extension cord is good to use for lights, not dishwashers, although I do have a 25ft 10 gauge for my 120V MIG welder just in case I need to work in the drive.
-Find outlets by either buying a tracer or plugging in a radio while flipping on the switches. Mark circuits by writing on the back of outlet covers, and get the breaker box diagrammed. Life will be easy after that.
-Double-check the pipe grounds. I had a new water main shutoff installed but recently discovered the bypass wire clamp was not connected on one side. That might cause electrolysis and premature corrosion of the pipes and fixtures. IDK.
