I Fixed It!!!....

And better yet... I did it without electrocuting myself... again.

To rewind a little bit, I came home monday night (9ish) and the nursery and Patrick's room had no power except for one receptacle. I got my handy, dandy tester out and it said I had a ground/hot reverse which blows. Usually means that the hot wire is grounding somewhere which could be in a wall (Which Deb had just painted). It also means that getting near a receptacle can be dangerous because it's easy to get a shock. I know this first hand. Last time this happen, I lost the hair on my right hand and forgot my name for 20 mins... But it was fixed when I came to! I just didn't want to have to shock myself again to fix it.

Anywho... long story short, I replaced the remaining receptacles, cleaned out the boxes, cut and taped all the wire inside each one and now it works... WITHOUT the shock therapy. WOOHOO!

In the words of a great great man... "If they don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy."
