Fuse box stencil?

I need to create something to help me identify the switches in my home's
fuse box. (I set off the smoke alarm at 11:45 p.m. New Year's Eve because I
had a candle burning almost directly under it for several hours.) It was
late and I was desperately trying to figure out which switch controlled
which circuit. That blasted noise and the knowledge that my neighbor had to
hear it didn't help.

Surely I'm not the first person to do this. And if I am, so be it. I'll
start from scratch but I'm hoping someone can help me. :)

I take the easy way out and just create a table in Word. There is usually a
template for the diagram on the back of the door to the fuse box.

Now where's the fun and the creativity in that?

Do you really need a fancy diagram when the smoke alarm is blaring in your
ear? ;-)

Standard application for the KISS principle.

Ni, but I sure could have used a larger one with easier to read text. And if
it was laid out similar to the actual switches that would help too. I also
intend to label the switches with labels. The fuse box is in the garage and
the light isn't real strong.
