Golly the fun continues! When I plugged in the cord on the wall of the garage for the storm shelter, it was dead, no voltage, no love. Crap. I used a different outlet a bit further away for the lights and vacuum.
This afternoon in the 85 degree heat, I played at being electrician. I pulled the outlet to be sure there was not a miraculous and spontaneous separation on the connections. All were tight, so I pushed it back into the wall, and buttoned it up.
I went looking for other outlets that were dead. The front porch outlet was also dead. Hmmmmm. Very interesting!
The roofers were here a few weeks ago. I wonder if they plugged in something that popped a ground fault breaker. So I went on the hunt for the possible culprit. In my bathroom in the garage was the popped GFI outlet. In the 27 years that we have lived here, it has never popped before. Simple reset, and the magic electricity was restored to the outlet.
Score one for Glen!
The back porch outlet uses the GFI circuit for the master bathroom. It has popped a few times over the years.
