Electrician

Post by MrBreeze »

Hey kids,

Half of the upstairs apartment lost power. I checked the circuit breakers so that's the end of my knowledge. Anyone know a good electrician?

Thanks. Paul is coming by tomorrow.

I thought the same thing about the outlets, but none in the line are GFI's. We'll see what the electrician dude finds tomorrow. I have a feeling it's an outlet in the chain, but I'm not comfortable enough screwing with it. I'll replace an outlet, but that's my limit.
