i'd plan on biking to belmont this sunday but it was rainier than i expected. my father ended up coming to get me with the car since he was going to the upstairs apartment anyway to do some more work. he brought the shopvac to clean some debris in the stairwell. we emptied the closets since the wooden floors inside will also be sanded and coated tomorrow. while ripping off some makeshift wallpaper in the small bedroom closet we discovered a hidden power outlet. finally my father tried to replace a faulty circuit breaker. he was doing it live since this junction box didn't have a power main cutoff. he tested the wire and was surprised to see it wasn't live. nevertheless, he moved it out of the way while he tried to insert the new circuit breaker. unfortunately the breaker wasn't the right size and wouldn't clip into the box. however, when he put back the old breaker, it suddenly started working again. that only lasted for a short while because when he turned on the light toggle in the stairwell, it suddenly popped the breaker. my father was going to fix it but the light switch was embedded in the wall (because the contractor layered over the walls with sheet rock) and he couldn't take it out. we'll need to have the contractors pull out all the switches and outlets before we can do anything. my father also bought a pair of LED ceiling lights but those won't go in until the walls have been painted.
