( you’ve had a lot of heavy rain)look at each switch all around outside the house<br />Sidenote<br />Most wires do not go underneath the house most wires go through The attic or the wall studs so having a electrician crawl under your house is more likely not necessary<br />What I just suggested is exactly what the electrician is going to do first started with a fuse panel<br />There u have beginners electrician 101Mister edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00293854096422236002noreply@blogger.com
