15 accidents from can't/shouldn't/seriously yesterday.

It's just sad and baffling.

Does WA have a castle law? If not she has to have a weapon on her before you shoot her, even if she breaks in, although I wouldn't recommend shooting either way, from what I hear you'll spend more on lawyers from any resulting civil case. Good luck though and sorry to hear about your asshole neighbor.

What a culture

Look for the outlet in places like your bathroom or kitchen area. If there is an outlet outside, it could be there too. GFCI outlets are the safest kind in locations that could get wet

Hope your staying warm, welcome to WA. update us on what the handyman says?

For a sec I thought that was a flipped over semi in the distance but once I zoomed in I realized it’s a house buried in snow . Lol so much snow

Have you checked your breaker?

And welcome to Washington by the way!

Happy to have tried to help. Good luck with the issue.

Thank you for the description! Appreciate the guidance

It's okay. He can't just pray for forgiveness, right?

No joke, I think this is gonna be my last option and the best option once I locate the thing. thank you so much for the tip again. Really really appreciate your help

This whole winter wonderland scene in front of my house is absolutely surreal. I have no business even complaining about a cold basement. Thank you for your troubles!! What a beautiful state you have

Thank you so much for helping me. I really appreciate the advice. And again for the very warm welcome. I am never going back to the East Coast. Freezing cold basement or not. West coast for life ; )

I would like to personally thank you for all of your assistance, knowledge, and guidance.

I really appreciate the amount of time that you took to try to resolve my issue. Unfortunately, this electrical work is just way above my knowledge base.

Calling a Handy Man.

Thank you for all of your patience and time!

GFCI outlets look like regular outlets with a couple of buttons in the middle that say “test” & “reset” When they trip (too many things plugged in that draw too much juice), every single outlet in the line goes out too It happened to me at Thanksgiving. Air fryer going & then plugged in a space heater & pop goes half the kitchen. I found the GFCI on an outside outlet, punched “reset” & all good

If it's like that, with cables that looks like those, that is a box for your telephone, internet, cable/satellite, and such. It shouldn't affect your power. Key word is shouldn't. Generally (as in I personally haven't seen any.) Fuse panels will be inside. Some exclusions would be if a large item is outside, most of the time being, hottubs, sanas, ot things like that.

It would be in the middle of a power plug. the outlet/receptacle usually has a little button and a little light. the button usually pops out and you'd have to push it back in and that would restore the connection. they can be either inside or outside the house, but I believe they are often installed in bathrooms. good luck!

If you look at that dude’s picture all the way at the top in the header, the outside box looks just like that. I don’t even know if that has anything to do with the power that I have in my basement

You are terribly kind! And thank you for the warm welcome.

this is what the back yard box looks like but worse.

OK thank you. No it’s definitely not that. But I did run outside and there seems to be some sort of box filled with wires in the backyard that are just kind of laying there. Does Reddit not allow me to send you guys pictures?

Example of a circuit breaker panel

Find that, then check any breakers labeled for the basement. Each switch in that is called a circuit breaker. look for basement labeled ones and check them by flipping them off and back on. Then check power in the basement

Just trying to determine how much of a problem you may have, and if you do have the singular fuse panel. If the washer and dryer were in the basement then there is a good chance that it would be on the same panel as the basement. But generally they are all in the main breaker box unless whomever had the house before you used equipment with huge power draws (welding, mills, lathes. Just to name a few.). I'm assuming there is no labeling on the door of the panel?
