Gonna use this dead example as the hottest example possible just for my own well being. I’ll treat it hotter than hell.

I don’t intend to touch anything in there with my physical fingers. I’m pretty sure my screw driver is magnetized maybe I won’t even have to grab the screw. I’ll use a pair of Insulated pliers to pull the cord from the hole.

My ole lady will be home soon to semi help me on this I’ll have her stand outside by the breaker so she can flip it on after I disconnect the wire. Okay so I see the hot parts. I’ll have all power off and be mindful not to touch those places. I also remember not to have anything in my left hand...

Found the outside breaker..... flip em all off?

I’m going to go outside to see if that box does indeed have a kill switch to be more safe. Report back soon. Thinking we may atleast find a conclusion today folks. Thanks for the help.

Quick question. The “electrician” that said the breaker was good..... did not go outside and shut anything off. I DO believe that IS what needs to be done. But he didn’t do that. Did he just tell me breaker was good without even knowing? It’s seeming more and more to be the breaker. But that’s...

Alright so kill that outside bit, and basically I’ll have zero power to home. Go ahead and shut down the large lever on the breaker box just because? Unscrew that wire. Leave cover off. Turn lever back up on box, go outside, flip that lever back up, and I should expect....? everything to be...

I’m gonna take a 5 minute breather. Get a few replies in here about the outside part. Don’t want my literally fatal mistake to be that if we are onto a possible fix.

This is what I have for the outside stuff. I see no lever looking mechanism. Maybe behind one of these doors?

Without the cover.... So you’re saying turn the main off, unscrew one of those little black wires. The one going to bedroom. Make sure it isn’t touching anything (can I put electric tape on the exposed wire?) put cover back on, then try to turn the breaker that I just unplugged, back on?

I unplugged everything. All lamps etc. unplug oven and dryer. Nothing on the outlets. Still nothing.

Okay go unplug stuff everywhere huh. Gotcha. Try to unplug everything then turn breaker on?

Okay man yeah one guy who helped me change plug I was iffy on flipping the main and he’s like well that’s 100% sure fire way you WONT get shocked. So we killed the main. You guys want me to pull that cover off and snap a pic? ALL my main appliances work. My overhead kitchen lights don’t, my...

Here is the breaker. I will remove cover soon. the one that’s bad is obviously flipped. edit halloween pumpkin and fan ran 24/0 no problems. Everything was fine that morning at 4am. It WAS slightly raining then but all power was fine.My timer came on at 6am every day. 8am my ole lady said we...

I used an extension cord, or two home made extension cords.... for some Halloween lights. They got rained on. My blow up pumpkin went down on the real cord as did the lights. Again this was an indoor outlet by my main door. This outlet was allegedly tested to be fine. That was my first thought...

Hey man. All this started after I rigged up some outdoor lights with a non weatherproof cord and it rained. That’s the ONLY thing that changed. Timer was same same for months etc. however. The day the lighting issue happened in the home, it rained on that outside cord that wasn’t for outside...

Man I can’t believe we are twelve pages in and i honestly do not believe I can fix this problem. I expected to change that outlet and bam fire back up. No go unfortunately. With my lack of knowledge, that’s as far as I’m comfortable going and that was a stretch. a quick story why electricity...

Thanks man. I thought this plug replacement would fix it but it did zero difference when I try to flip breaker back on. Same quick flash of lights on then immediately back off and breaker flipped..... problem is in these cow field areas electricians are hard to find. I’ll keep looking. Thanks

Changed outlet. Still no power. Pissed off. Guess I’m just gonna live with half power and stop growing. Fuck it

Wow would someone mind to take a look at the half packs on attitude and see what they’d pick? I already have Slurricane. There’s a lot of packs on there 5 packs that are fem for like 85-100 dollars. I want to get one. A heavy yielder and good bag appeal
