The breaker was replaced this morning by Dad. I was away getting my hair done and he had the whole house to himself. It took him awhile to find the right breaker for our box as they are old and you can't just find the same one. That would be too easy! He found one that he thought would work but it was too wide for the box. He had to go back and look around again. He found another one at the hardware store he found the original one at but he wanted to check Home Depot. He found the same one there but again he needed to check Lowe's. Lowe's did not even have breakers or very few so that was crossed off the list.
He just went back to the hardware store and bought the one he found originally. It looked different but it fit. It is working but he is still not sure if it is going to continue to do so. You see we think the house may be haunted as when we had the old breaker in, all things did not work - the TV, the bathroom lights, the paddle fan, my bedroom lamp. Then a few hours later when you were not expecting it, the bathroom lights came on, the fan started working, and my lamp came on. No one touched anything after it was decided that everything was dead from the dead breaker. This did not happen just one time but each night we had to mess with it. Maybe it was a short in the wiring but why would some things work and not all? Now that we have replaced the breaker, why is the TV working, as well as, everything else if it was a short? Hmmm ... We may never know----
