What's new

Thank you, guys, for your help. I know that my explanation of what was happening was hard to understand with my lack of electrical terms. However, I have fixed it!! The switch needed to be replaced. I'm sure I'll come across something else that needs fixing....so I'll be back!

looking forward to a great day!

Hi, Brook,

Thanks for the pic in your Closed Cell Insulation post; I will use it next time someone says, "What is buttonboard?" It is all over CA (and in my 1956 SoCal house) but apparently a lot of people are unfamiliar with it. I call it a cross between plaster and drywall, with all their worst qualities. I kinda hate it-hard to work with. Have you ever found a stud finder or wall scanner that works with it?

I have the exact problem. what did the “pro” do to fix it?
