Small-Scale Question Sunday for January 15, 2023

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

Any recommendations for open source or free programs to draw electrical schematics? I'm working on remodeling my kitchen and there will be some major changes. New 20amp circuit, new ground wire, stuff like that.

I could MSPaint or hand-draw it, but I also want to add to my resume.

Use OrCAD Lite. It was good enough for me for a EE degree, it should be good enough for some rough schematics. The Lite version has simulation and testing capabilities as well.

Isn't that more for designing circuit boards than house wiring circuits?

Yes but you can create custom blocks with specified transient characteristics. It's not ideal but it's better than MSPaint or hand-drawing it. I might have misread what OP asked for, if he is looking strictly for a layout and not planning to do any sort of simulation, then OrCAD isn't ideal.
