i'm sorry that you're feeling blah right now. you've got a lot on your plate! ask around and see if anyone that you know can look at the electrical. how about your stepdad?

i'm scared to death of electric and gas, so i'm no help whatsoever. i do have a readers digest "how to" book that tells you how to do those things. it's packed or i'd copy pages for you. library might have one.
