(If only I knew who Poop was)

In any event, I have discovered a close relative has a friend who does
electrical work. He is coming by to look at it. If I am lucky, they
can find the cause and not charge me a grand for doing so. I know
computers, but I don't know electrical and half a room going dead with
no breakers flipped leaved me clueless. I wouldn't dare mess with this
unless I know what I was doing.. so we'll wait for a professional.
