You should never be embarrassed. We all have to learn new things to learn new things!

Also has your basement ever had power?

And welcome to Washington! I moved here from sunny Southern California and remember when it started to snow real hard and I asked my boss if people still came in for work 😂 so naive hehe

There’s a washer and dryer right next to the basement! Does that mean anything?

It’s on the same floor but in a separate room.

Is a breaker different than a panel? I am so horribly embarrassed. I am so sorry for the stupid questions

What does a ground fault interrupter look like?

I’ve dreamed of coming here my entire life. Hey at least I’m not dealing with a hurricane

Goodness, I’m overwhelmed by everybody’s help! I tried switching off each breaker. And nothing.

Freezing temperatures shouldn't affect internal wiring, except for drastic circumstances (but I do not claim any amount of expertise, just personal experience.). Is the basement just one large room? Does it have a washer and dryer? Or any other appliances that may run 220/240(usually a double breaker)?

well, first thing you might wanna consider is checking your fuse box to see that basement is getting power. also check any outlets you have with ground fault interrupters, I've seen some wiring in houses where a part of the building is jumped off a receptacle and when the gfi is tripped, no power in that side of house.

...and yeah, we do get some cold weather but it seems to have come a lot earlier this year than it usually does. usually just rains a lot...

Freezing temps make everything work harder. Which can overload breakers. What's down there that uses power? Have you checked the breaker panel? Welcome to Washington by the way. Sorry this is how you get to experience it.

OK… So can we confirm together that the lack of power in the basement has nothing to do with the freezing temperatures?

And thank you for the GFI troubleshooting tip.

Are there multiple panels? Well that would depend on who made the house and the purpose they had for the rooms. But if you've gone through each breaker and they all check fine, I'd suggest checking any GFI outlets you have sometimes those pop and throw everything off.

Holy sh*t! This is absolutely breathtaking! Thank you for sharing!

Is this the guy I just saw standing on the corner in Poulsbo holding a big sign that said “Wife submit to your husband”?

Bad bot.

...crunch...squeak...crunch...squeak...

Stevens Pass?

so pretty! how was the drive/road condition to get there?

I’m ten minutes west of Olympia and we got a lot of snow. Meanwhile Olympia was mostly clear. Microclimates here can be crazy.

Absolutely criminal. As if life isn't hard enough for these students and families and then they have to deal with this garbage race to the bottom for resources that have ALREADY BEEN FUNDED

No love like Christian hate...

I mean yeah the church should have bounced him, but what’s with all the diversion offers? That’s absurd.

yea they did this kind of program with my chronically drunk neighbor who came in my home wasted 3 years ago to 'beat me up'. i could not get a restraining order and she has been in tx 4 times and jailed one in addition to multiple drunk tank vacas at the local hospital....4 days ago she was still drinking.

i bought a gun because of this bitch and still they coddle her.
