    There are only these four on this bank. Went into the breaker panel and fucked with all the breakers. They are labled wrong and a lil sloppy. I found one that was stuck between on and tripped. Cleaned it up, replaced the 30 yr old plugs just for shits and giggles and I'm good to go now. Thanks everyone.

    My porch light stopped working and I couldn't figure it out I even went and reset all the GFIs in my house. Turned out my master bath gfi went bad. I haven't plugged anything into it for awhile, but figured it worked. ... Well I was wrong, grab a tester and check yours.

    My hallway light went out about a month ago and I couldn't figure out what was wrong. I flipped the switch over and over and it just would not turn on. I check the breaker and it was fine. Finally, after about a month of chasing the problem, I finally changed the lightbulb. Turned out that was the issue.

    Changing a lightbulb is a serious task. Did you call in a licensed professional?

    No and it backfired. A neighbor heard I was changing the bulb and called the AQMD on me. Since I didn't pull the proper permit, they dropped the hammer on me. Had to have aesbestos and lead testing on the fixture. Turned a weekend project into a month long ordeal.

    Those Claremont residents sure put together a great neighborhood "rat" program.

    Try cutting down one of your trees here and see what happens! That is the ultimate offense!
