I'd keep that to myself down at the Home Depot if I were you.

Resident electrician, Ha! I think the term you're looking for is hack. I came home from running errands in Merdia the other day, flipped on the pool pump and the whole house went dark. Flipped a couple breakers and it lit back up. Walked to the back of the house and it went dark again. Played that game for a while and found there must be a short between the street and the house. Which is great 'cuase that line is buried under the concrete wall by neighbor and I share.

So in from the street and down the skylight with some heavy gage wire-



Down the hall-



And into the junction box-



I now have lights and the coffee makers up and running. Hoping to do a more permanent fix Monday. Also hoping it doesn't rain until Tuesday.
