Talking They are out there.

This is an issue that we just faced last week. Both the outlets for the lanai (which was originally designed as a back porch) and the front porch were not working.

A friend came over and located two switches in the garage that reactivated the outlets, one for the front and one for the back.

They were not a part of the main breaker box, but were located independently elsewhere on the walls. One was on the wall with the breaker box and the other was on the opposite wall.

I wish I could tell you more, but I was not there when the friend came to the house to reset the switches, nor have I discussed it with him. Barbara relayed the information to me with the same aplomb that she employs when discussing anything electrical or electronic. (Read as "incomprehensible.")

But...........they are out there somewhere.
