The electrical lines are a starting point, not a form you have to fit into. Edit the wording, change the quantities, delete what does not apply and add your own — then download it.

Yes, including commercially, and you do not need to credit us. It is a sample for general use, not legal, tax or accounting advice — check your state's requirements before you rely on it.
