| Bill, thanks for the input. I checked with the town and we are not required to obtain a permit for what we're doing. This was supposed to be a simple remove the soffit, move the cabinets up, and while you're at it, put a new outlet in (which he's done many times before).
When we had the home inspection before moving in last year, i remember they commented that the electrical box looked really good, there was plenty to go around. We have noticed that if we run the microwave, toaster oven and fryer at the same time, we blow a fuse. The microwave is plugged into another outlet on the other side of the kitchen, but apparently on the same circuit.
If DH has not figured out the problem by tonight, I'll ask him to consider calling an electrician. |
