Just when I get the very last light fixture installed and every switch in my house actually operates something, all the outlets in my living room drop dead.
At 9:15pm.
No, the breaker did not trip.
No, a GFCI did not trip, either. I do not have any GFCI outlets or breakers, which is kind of scary so I try not to think about it. The same way I try not to think about having aluminum wiring.
And no, it is not a loose wire from one of my new installations. They all still have power and the living room is not down the chain from any of them anyway. The living room outlets are all on one breaker which, since it did not trip, I can only assume is the culprit.
So now I have to research how to change out a breaker. What a lovely long-4th-of-July-weekend project to look forward to.
Perhaps it is time to call an electrician and get that whole house rewiring estimate I have been promising myself because, you know, I am made of money. Oh wait, no I'm not. Crap. Well, here is hoping the house does not burn down around me one night while I sleep. If the kitties should escape, please give them a good home, won't you?
