ELECTRICAL POSTSCRIPT

On Wednesday morning, June 16th I noticed that there was no power in the downstairs bathroom. And, I really didn't know how long that it had been out, since I often do not turn on the light.

I checked the rest of the house, and found that all other areas had power. I went downstairs to the breaker box, and flipped all of the switches Off/On, but this had no effect.

I figured that the problem probably had to do with the new circuit breaker that Loyd had installed in the bathroom. This is designed to cut the power if water is doused on the outlet. I hope that it was a wise decision to change since the other outlet offered no problems.

It just so happened that when I discovered the power outage, I had to take the bike to Memorial Testing to have a cholesterol screening. I could not have any food or drink for ten hours, and I wanted to get this out of the way so that I could get some coffee.

When I returned, I called Loyd and he agreed to stop by on Thursday at 830am. He arrived right on time, and said that the switch was probably defective, and he had a new one with him, and installed it in ten minutes.

Hope this is the end of the problems with electricity in the powder room.
