My First ULOG Post

Welcome Steemians one and all to my very first ULOG post! I learned about this type of post from @silversaver888 and after doing a little research have found it is really part of a movement stemming from @surpassinggoogle. The notion is to encourage original content and encourage content creators to share a part of themselves if you will. So I decided to throw my hat in the ring with something a little different. Here is my day of tracking down why there was no power in several outlets and light fixtures in a rental house I am currently doing a little work in. I also primed the kitchen that we had done some drywall work in and fixed and textured the ceiling in. As most of those that have talked to me know I tend to work a lot lol. I have a day job, do construction on my days off, and side hustles that I like to explore.

Now imagine this room in all purple and that drainage stack in the corner still in cast iron that has been rusted out. The ceiling had to be ripped out to reinstall ceiling joist that were rotten and were no longer supporting the bathroom above, which was were this adventure started. This rental has seen much better days, but I am hoping to help the owner.

Now, the longer part of the day was spent trying to track down power was off to four outlets in the living room, two outlets in the dining room, the light in a bathroom and the dining room. It is my opinion that the previous tennants were cutting out wires to scrap, which is not only wrong, but makes no sense when you figure they were shutting power off to themselves. Anyway, myself and two others spent about three hours solving this puzzle.

One of the problems was a test breaker that was located in the box. It took about an hour to figure that out and it helped restore power to one outlet and the bathroom. The next area was found after tracing a few wires. The previous tenants literally cute the power supply going to a light, which you can see the box for in the center. There was also a wire coming out of that box that was feeding four other outlets. We ran a new line to the light box and jumped power out of it to allow those four outlets to be powered back up.

This left only one outlet without power and the dining room light. The final outlet was a little easier to figure out because after shinning a little more light in the basement they had cut the wire to it right where it went up into the floor. I reran a wire from the breaker box to the outlet restoring its power.

Well with 99 percent of the mystery solved; the only part left was the dining room light. It was already past five so it was time to call it quits, but I shall return to try and finish this work. Obviously, I will let you guys in on that work.
