Greetings, everyone!
I am trying to do a small, simple job: replacing an outlet in one of the bathrooms on 2nd floor of our house.
To do this, I am trying to shut off the power to that outlet. The breaker box was labeled by someone else (probably the previous owner). Alright...
So I tried all switches, one by one, but none worked. I even thought I missed one, and switched them ALL off, and that still did not shut off the power to that outlet. In fact, much of the house still had electricity!!!
What is going on? Any ideas? Did I miss something obvious?
(I have not noticed a second circuit breaker, either)
I would greatly appreciate any help!
