    indoor/outdoor power

    Bingo! Thanks to all for the assistance. I just got home from work and looked behind the junk piled up against the garage wall. Sure enough, there is a GFCI that was tripped. I reset it and all is fine.

    indoor/outdoor power

    My apologies. This situation has me tired and stressed. That sentence should have read, Nothing has been added and there are NO outlets in the soffit.

    indoor/outdoor power

    window issue?

    No, not thermal expansion. This sound is definitely mechanical. I would describe it as a spring loaded sound inside the window frame.

    window issue?

    I have two vinyl, single hung windows, side by side in my bedroom. My house was built in 2004. Ever since the house was built, I'm hearing a "SNAP" sound coming from one of the windows. When the house was first built, I figured I was hearing settling sounds. Both windows work fine, stay up fine...

    New guy

    Hi, my name is Vick and I live in Florida. I'm a carpenter by trade and can hold my own with electrical and plumbing. I'm currently enrolled in HVAC school to learn something new because the skills I have now are not worth much in this sour economy. I'll be hanging around here to pick up or...
