Power outage revisited
It's been a few weeks but just an FYI for those who helped me and are
interested in the outcome of the circuit which was out. It ended up being a fried neutral behind my medicine cabinet. The medicine cavinet hid a huge cutout in the wall. The wires were in the wall (not in a box) exposed and TAPED, not wire nutted. All neutrals were tied together as were all blacks (3 each) then the wires ran through a hole in the wall into the rear of the three lamp fixture above the cabinet and the rest continuing the run. The romex wiring was old and brittle, but there was corrosion and burning. The scary part is the thought of it catching fire because you could clearly see the burn marks on part of the wall. It took awhile because I upgraded my service panel. When I learned it wasn't in the panel, I went back to the search with my hunch to the bathroom fixture since the main wire started from the panel to the bathroom. The more I remodel or repair, the more I learn whoever did these jobs was an idiot. |
