Ok, so my last post didn't go over so well, and I think it was due to a lousy title, and a PDF of my circuits. So, here it is with a more descriptive title, and a png 
So heres the lay of the land for me:
I run a almost 3 vessel system. I only have 2 tuns, 1 mash tun, and a BK. The 3rd vessel is just for wort collection prior to boil.
I have 2 2000 watt elements in my BK, and I'm looking to install a RIMS system for my mash tun.
I started looking at PJ's diagrams, and basically I want to hybridize http://www.pjmuth.org/beerstuff/images/Auberin-wiring1-SYL-2352-basic5-RIMS.jpg and http://www.pjmuth.org/beerstuff/images/Auberin-wiring1-a4-simple-1.jpg, with a 3-way switch where the power switch is on the RIMS diagram and controlling plug 2 on the a4-simple diagram.
You guys following so far? The only other hiccup is that while I'm using 120v now, I would like to move to 240 in about a year when I move out of my current place, so I'd like to use as many 240v parts as possible.
I have visio, but I couldn't find a good set of stencils to draw something even remotely close to P-J's style, so I did the best I could with what I had. If it doesn't make any sense at all then I apologize. From this, I think I have a good idea of what parts I need to start sourcing, but I wanted a sanity check that a) this plan would work, and b) that i'm not over complicated things and wasting money on stuff.
Thanks for any input! Feel free to tear me a new one
