* If you can’t narrow it down to a single window, then yu may be the victum of the wind resonating the wholoe house.
* Have you ever taken a small match box, removed the matches, then stuck one end of the box in your mouth and blow? The box starts to resonate and an audible sound is produced.
* Somewhere in you house, the wind is causing an opening to vibrate.
* Take note of which way the wind is blowing. Cover the windows on that side with plastic sheeting to stop the wind from comming through.
* When you loacate the culprit, use calk to seal out the wind.

* Set MultiMeter to AC Voltage.
* At Fuse Box, put your black(-) probe on Ground or Neutral.
* At Fuse Box, put your (+) Red probe on one side of the fuse, then the other side of the fuse. Both sides should read 120 volts or thereabouts..
* If one side does not measure 120 volts, then the fuse is open (shot). Replace the fuse.

* On the face of your multimeter you will find a rotary switch with which you select the function you want.
* AC: for Alternating Current Voltage measurements.
* DC: For Direct Current Voltage Measurements
* OHM (or Ohm symbol) for all resistance measurements.
NOTE: The old Analog Multimeters had different setting for the resistance range you wanted. RX1 for low resistance, RX10 for higher resistances and RX1000 for even higher resistances.

* There is a loose wire connection that allows the circuit to make and break.
* Tighten screws in you outlets, especially if you have aluminum wiring.
* Turn off the Circuit breaker for those lights. Remove the light bulb and look into the socket. If the center tab is flat, then pull it up so that it makes good connection with the light bulb base.

* Cut slots about every 2 inches or 1 inch on the backside depending on the radius of the bend you need.
* You can also mud in the slots if you want.
* Good luck… Adios… Jasper…( Also search on Google.com using “Bending drywall” as your argument.)

* Here’s how your wiring should be:
1. Hot Black wire goes to switch.
2. Neutral, White Wire, goes to
Sconce White Wire.
3. Wire out from switch goes to
Sconce Black Wire.
4. Copper Earth Ground goes to
Sconce Ground screw.
* Your switch is shorting the hot circuit to the Neutral or Copper ground causing the Circuit Breaker to trip.

* check the voltage at the main power panel.
* L1 to L2 should be 220 volts (approx)
* Neutral to L1 must be 120 volts (approx)
* Neutral to L2 must also be 120 volts (approx)
* If all voltages are correct, then there is a loose Neutral (White Wire) at the Power Panel.
* Tighten all White Wires (Neutral)
* If you don’t have 120 volts, call the power company and report and open Neutral cable.

* Check this URL:
http://forums.mikeholt.com/archive/index.php/t-72499.html* If sub-panel is in same building/area as the Master Panel, then run all three wires to Master Panel where the Neutral and Ground are bonded together.
* A Neutral and Ground tied together in a Sub Panel allows the Neutral Current to flow through the Ground wire to the Master Panel. This creates ground currents that affect the ground plane ground reference. This drives computers crazy when parts of a main frame are on different floors of a building and a Ground to Neutral bond is made on a Sub Panel. This condition causes “I/O Interface Control Checks” on computer Channels.

* I have a black wire, a tan wire and a uninsulated wire which I safely assume is a ground wire coming from the ceiling and the usual white, black and copper ground coming from the fixture.
* Here’s what I think. Black wire to Black wire. Tan wire goes to white wire.
* Copper wire to copper wire. Sometimes ground wire from fixture is green.
* Make sure your circuit Breaker has been reset.
* Buy a $3.00 voltage tester from Lowes or Home Depot.
* There should be 120 volts (Tester Glowes) between the Black wire and the Tan Wire of the Copper ground.
* There should be no voltage (no glow) between the tan and the copper ground.
* If you don’t have voltage between the Black wire and the Tan or Copper wire, go check the voltage at of the Circuit Breaker. Check between the circuit breaker wire and the Neutral Bus Bar.
There must be voltage (tester glows)
* Report back your findings…

* A house with a cathedral ceiling can have no attic.
* The framework that you put your roof on can also be what you nail your ceiling to thereby giving you no attic.
* Give us some feedback. What are you building?
* Good luck… Adios… Jasper…Jasper Castillo
* The Master Breaker takes the incomming voltage and distributes it to two buss bars to which the other breakers connect.
* Perhaps one side of the breaker opened up and then the other side opened up.

* Looks like you lost one phase from the electric company, which accounts for some circuits not working.
* Further more, it looks like the second phase is now lost, which accounts for the loss of the other circuits.
* Keep in mind that 1/2 of your circuits are on one phase and the other 1/2 are on the other phase.
* Check the in comming voltage from the power company to your power panel.
* Call the power company to verify that they have power comming into the house.
