Default Reference for clearances

I am making some references for specific areas.

Like wood burning stoves, stairs, railings, fireplace hearths, chimneys, overhead wires, joists notching & drilling.

I know I should remember the clearances but I have ADD and can only remember certain things.

I have gone to church for many years and you think I could remember the every week prayers that I have said so many times. I can only remember the Our Father. Same with inspections. I can remember baluster clearances but forget many others like step rise & run.

Thats why I ask the same questions like Bonding & Grounding. Can,t comprehend some times.

I miss spell the same words all the time. Thank god for spell check!!

I appreciate your patience and also try to thank people that respond to my posts.

So my question is what other numbers should I make references for?

David .everytime you see info of interest you can make a note of it in seconds with this new widget from Google.
This will help you store info and recall it with almost nothing but a thought.
To help explain this is a link to a wiki definition.
