Reply to comment by auvovo in LPT: If you're buying a house still under construction, photograph everything before the sheetrock goes up. Knowing exactly where the pipes, wires, and ducts are may prove invaluable some day, and even if you never use them the next owner will appreciate it. by Needleroozer

I wish I had this...

I just got finished mapping all my breakers, outlets, and switches..... Omg I have no idea why a breaker is turning off a bathroom fan, bathroom light, a socket in bedroom 2 rooms down the hallway, and the pot lights in the living room

Its not like there's a shortage of breakers or anything. I have 10 slots still open. WHY. WHY! And where the F are these wires!

I have an outlet upstairs that only works if a certain outlet downstairs has something plugged in. No idea why and I neglected to get good ceiling pictures from downstairs.

Sounds like the upstairs outlet might be wired in series with the downstairs outlet instead of in parallel. Chances are the issue is in that downstairs outlet and it can be fixed quite easily by opening up the downstairs outlet box and checking the wiring. It's always possible it's some other issue, but that's a easy place to start.
