Using the word "temporal" makes sentences sound sooooo much cooler than they actually are.
"There is a temporal uncertainty we must resolve." Translation: When is it? "A fully closed temporal interval beginning presently." Translation: From now until then. |

it's perfectly fine to shut power down from the beginning. there's a lot of times i don't at first because sometimes just wiggling different outlets can make everything come back which makes it more obvious where the problem is, which saves time, and makes my customers happier that the repair bill is smaller. otherwise, there's a lot of "i think this will do it" back and forth to change something, restore power, realize it's somewhere else, repeat.

Seriously, I had an issue with an outlet in a house in CT. I couldn't get one outlet to work. Come to find out that the outlet was the kind that the wire is just skinned off and then jammed into a clippie thing. After so many years, I reckon that small contact area didn't work no more. My second embarrassing electrical "problem" was about a year ago when the one side of the outlet beside our bed quit working. After chasing electrons for a while, I discovered (after living here for 25 years) a wall switch that controlled half of that socket. ACTUALLY, our two old granddaughter discovered new uses for her stool and "discovered" and flipped the switch. OK, so, I'm not the sharpest pair of wire strippers in the tool box - humfrz |

Had another stressful day. Retirement hasn't been the leisure I expected.

(sorry, that wasn't funny - ) Like ol @soundman98 suggested, make sure that the GFI is good. If in doubt, go buy and install a new one. Oh yes, I once owned a house with two GFIs. - I have found over the years that most of my electrical problems (that I didn't create) had to do with the circuit breakers. Back in the day, we would just put a penny behind the fuse and then went looking for smoke - (). I hoped you get it sorted out. humfrz |

Has your listing agent been advertising your house? If so, Internet, print or both? Have showings dropped off over the last 30 days? About the offer you had that went south, how close was it to your list price? How long is your listing agreement for? Don't get discouraged. Idaho will wait for you - humfrz |

If you find circuit breakers annoying, look into AFCI breakers. They're giving me nightmares, and newest electrical code is moving to require them anywhere GFCI's aren't. Their entire premise is based on a THEORY. I haven't had one install with them that i haven't gotten called back within 2 weeks for it.

Seriously, my house was built in 1983 and had a Federal Pacific Electric panel box and Stab Loc breakers. I got paranoid about it burning the house down and had the whole box and all the breakers replaced. Yep, I swear that I'm busier after I retired, than when I was working - at least it feels that way - humfrz |

Can't tell the difference between a knob or a tube.
