But now that you have, Bubba suggests you fix up a warm bath of epsom salts and soak for an hour or so. I would recommend you pop a couple of antihistamine pills, a couple of prozac and slather some hydrocortisone cream on the affected area. Then mix up a pitcher of strong margaritas and drink till you pass out. The next morning your hangover will be such that you won't notice the rash anymore. |

the easiest advice i follow is mystery switches are most typically located to an area of convenience for the 'thing' they power. best solution is to get into the mindset of the person that built the house ("hey, i want a switch and a flood light by the back picture window so i watch the deer at night in the back yard"). a mystery switch near an outside door is usually related to detached building lighting/power(in my area, houses built in the 50-70's typically have the detached garage power go through a switch by the back door, due to fears at the time of robbers running around with 'newfangled' garage door openers and stealing cars out of garages--trips a lot of people up until i explain it), post lights(post lights break all the time, and many people just bury it), christmas light outlets in the eve's of the house, or heat tapes in the gutters. mystery switches by windows many times control something one would want to watch through the window, or floodlights that used to exist above those windows--i've also seen heat tape switches in these locations as a "hey, there's icicles building up, i forgot to turn on the tapes!". and big panels of mystery switches in the master bedroom next to where a bed could be expected to be(not where everyone puts it!) can control a number of lights throughout the house-- a hold-over from the 70's home automation craze, where automators drove this impression that everyone wanted to control every light in the house from the convenience of their bed. outside of that, there's really no magic formula to figuring it out except turning it on and running around checking things, which can take a ton of time--if you're ever home by yourself, sometimes it's easier to shut everything else off except the circuit powering the mystery switch, and then it gives you a very rough radius of devices that the other half could be located in. because of how time consuming it can get, unless the homeowner is adamant about paying the time to figure it out, if i can't find it in 15 minutes, i'll put a wire nut on the switch leg wire coming off the switch, so i can guarantee that it doesn't power up a rogue wire that could be damaged in some way(more than once, i've gotten stories of past homeowners having problems, and they just choose not to use the switch), or placed in a hazardous location, make the homeowner aware of what i'm doing, and so if they come across something that doesn't work, we can address it later.

Same here. People ask what it is, and when I say toyota, they look at me even more puzzled. I've only seen 4 here in a year. |

A friend from San Jose is coming to stay a day or two. He is moving his son here. His son got a scholarship playing football at Boise State.
They just announced they are suspending the season indefenatly. So sad. Boise state football is like the biggest thing in idaho. So many small businesses rely on the income from home games each year, not to mention the income for the school. More small businesses will close. This has been such a bad year. Sucks. |
