Howdy Ags!

#1. So last weekend the outlets in our boys bathroom went DEAD. The lights all work. I took the opportunity to update the switches and outlets from their 1980's knobs and plates. Still DEAD. I'm handy but not with electricity. We have a 1950's home and there are a ton of wires and boxes in the attic so I don't trust myself to know what is what.

#2. We would love to add an outlet to our other bathroom so need to daisy chain an existing plug or bring another line down off the box.

Any suggestions?

If the outlets are dead you probably have a gfi somewhere that is tripped

1980. Most gfi went from one bath to another.

And lights are usually on a separate circuit, so that part is not unusual.

No gfci anywhere in this 1950s build. Any residential electricians anyone would recommend?

Thank you! Bruce was a great guy. Had time and came by today, taught me a little about breakers and some basic loops. Ended up being at the breaker, old wiring had come loose there.

Honest and very down to earth older gentleman. I would recommend him to anyone with issues here East of 75.
