Every week I sneak into your house and fiddle with its innards.

Have a nice day.

hey all,

helping my brother in law troubleshoot some electrical problems.

yesterday when testing an electrical problem (no bathroom light or fan),
both conductors on the light were "hot", and 2 of the 3 conductors on the
fan were hot as well (i didn't have a meter handy, but had a neon light
electrical tester).  i thought there was a wiring problem, and was prepared
to re-wire today.

today, all seems to be as it should...one hot wire for the light, one for
the fan...nothing else has changed.

since we have had quite a bit of rain recently, it seems to me it is likely
something weird with a ground fault interupt and the wet weather...anyone
have any ideas?
