I used different bright colored masking tape to temporarily mark each pipe, to help me visualize where everything went.

Yes, basically I'd like a relatively cheap system (say $1000 or less) where the FedEx guy (or anyone) can call the tenant, it rings on their phone, they can visually see who it is, and click a buzzer to let them in.

I found the Sherwin Williams ColorSnap Visualizer pretty useful as well. 

I find that breaking a project into components helps to visualize what i need and what I might need if something unexpected pops up.

Just about any color will work on that style of house.COLOR VISUALIZER

It was a nice visual I was hoping to borrow for something I'm working on.Thanks for looking, though.

I think the best method that works is a little of both visual and mental stimulation.

That's an amazing visual for sure!!

Google maps or any map service, actually, can give you a visual on banks on location.

No need to tie into the rest of the house, since there are units that can be used just to condition (heat and cool) a small space like that.I believe that the electrical wiring can be surface mounted in channels or in conduit or in metal jacketed cable, but those aren't as visually attractive as being behind a wall.You want this to be living space - anything in particular (family room, office, etc)?
