Also, that's a great plus for a drop ceiling. I'm pretty sure my house was wired and rewired by a chimpanzee with a severe case of stupid, and figuring that all out makes me want to burn things. With fire. |

Best bet is to ask around. Good contractors info gets passed around from a friend of a friend, with little public advertising.
I hate wiring jobs like that. I genuinely don't know how there's not more global electrical fires than there already is...

Yep, the first one I watched almost every nail driven. I about drove the contractor and the subs nuts.
With the second house, I stopped by after the foundation was laid to make sure it was on plan and in the proper place on the parcel. Then I stopped by after it was framed to make sure the rooms were in the right place. I forced myself NOT to go back until the certificate of occupancy was issued. My third house was newly built, but never lived in. So, I just had a home inspection and moved in. My other houses were older, so I just updated them after moving in. As a real estate broker, I represented several clients in purchasing land on which to build a house (nope, I couldn't convince them ALL not to do that - ). With those clients, I made it clear to them that our broker/client relationship ENDED when the deed to the property (land) was transferred and recorded. Even though my son-in-law builds houses, I would tell my clients that I DO NOT KNOW ANYBODY THAT BUILDS HOUSES - period. They were "fun" experiences, but I just choose to not have any more of that kind of "fun". humfrz |

Looks pretty amazing, actually. Like any region, there are the good and bad parts. Have you been to that particular place? Quote:

If I were going to spend several months in Baja California, I'd head on down to Cabo San Lucas. There is more to do and the fishing is better. Wanna see some pictures of the last time I spent two weeks there? Yep, a sleepy little fishing village. The dirt strip where we landed the company plane (a queen air something). An overview. Our hotel (The Hacienda). I wonder if it's changed much since the 1960s - humfrz |

It could also be a defective gfi if you can't get that to trip/reset, or it's possible the wires were connected incorrectly on the gfi and the gfi functionality is fine. The first things i check in that situation is behind the problem outlet for a loose splice, then i go to the panel, shut down the circuit, and check the circuits connections in the panel- a lot of guys limp-wrist connections(when i check the one connection, i always torque every screw in the panel, many times either they're left loose, or thermal cycling has loosened them), so a healthy amount of those times are fixed in those 2 areas. After that, it's a matter of leaving the circuit off and checking every single connection from one side to the other. Those are the main culprits, but there's plenty of other remote culprits like a damaged wire, or a wire stretched too tight that broke over time

So the order goes panel - loose neutral - problem plug and some appliance on a different plug. Where the appliance is essentially charging the neutral because current has difficulty flowing through the loose neutral? And a faulty GFCI could be the loose neutral, the bridge, or both? Why leave the power on when checking for a loose splice? |

Have you tried any wrecking yards? Do you even have local wrecking yards there?
