I hate having electrical problems. I have an outside outlet plus some
motion sensor lights that aren't working and of course my brother says
don't call an electrician, that he'll come fix it. Well, a month later,
no fix. lol I won't bug him about it even though he offered. I'm just
going to call an electrician. Some of the motion sensor light light up
my driveway when I come home so I hate coming home to a dark driveway.
It will be fixed very soon one way or the other, but likely the way that
will cost me.
