Had experience Thursday
 

They were putting up our birdcage last Thursday and they were using heavy tools and a lot of extension cords on the back of the house. They lost power and they and I went to the garage and nothing was tripped. I checked the reset GFCI in both bathrooms and the kitchen and they all tested fine. I finally found that there was a reset GFCI in the lanai and only then did the power come back on those receptacles. Now I know where all of my resets are for all of my GFCI's. I kept thinking something in the circuit breaker panel would have had to be blown.

C'mon now, sometimes you just gotta take a chance. Live life on the edge. (Just kidding)

My garage GFCI used to blow everytime it rained, taking the front signpost out with it. An inspection of the outside outlets showed a pretty poor job of sealing the outlet gaskets/covers. A little repositioning of those gaskets along with a few dabs of caulk and I haven't had a problem since.

:wave:I had the same problem but also when the neighbor's sprinklers would come on the GFI would kick out. I am considering putting the outlet in one of the plastic boxes sold at Lowes.

Replace it with a non GFCI and never have another problem with it
