    A real head scratcher - no power to entire bathroom

    They make a circuit tracer you can plug into an outlet and use the receiver to find a breaker, perhaps you could use it to track outlets on the same circuit working back to the panel checking for power as you go.

    How to protect phoneline & landline phone from lightning surges

    What should have been done by telco was to bond ALL grounds together. Telco should have a protector outside and it's ground should be tied with the power ground, min. of 12 ga wire if the two are within 20' of each other if farther then 10 or 8 ga. Telco was my bread and butter for 30 years.
