This week I was reinstalling a ceiling fan for a client after repairing some drywall. When I took the fan down I noticed that there were several electrical connections and I didn’t want to forget how to hook it up.
Then I remembered that I was armed with a camera phone.
For years, I never really used my phone to take pictures, but lately I’ve discovered how handy it is to always have a camera around. I took a quick picture of the wires before disconnecting them and stored it in my phone for later. When it was time to remount it I could reference that photo to remember how it was done.
Thankfully, it worked the first time.
