Magento, add a custom attribute to a customer address

I'm looking for a way to add a drop down for a customer's address (during registration, editing, checkout, etc..) that indicates whether or not it is a Residential or Business address. I have spent hours going through tutorials but they are all out of date or poorly written. I have read 6 different ones telling me how to do the same thing 6 different ways. Can someone outline a simple process that you need to do in order to add a custom attribute to an address? I'm on Magento 1.6

Try something like this tutorial at Fontis: Know More About Your Customers - Adding Custom Signup Attributes

Whilst this was written for 1.3.2.4, most (if not all) is still relevant for 1.6. I've done a very similar thing by allowing a customer to choose the customer group they wish to belong to, by following these directions.

Oh, and there are some great comments on the post as well.
