I don't want to think about if one of those splices was inside some random wall. I had to make and extend several extra junction boxes because the original NM was only long enough to use the kit.

Went to the service panel and that same breaker was tripped. I reset the breaker and watched TV for 10 minutes and also turned on our family computer which runs 24/7 (same room, different receptacle).Ībout 30 minutes later, while leaving for work, I noticed the room was dead again. The whole room is on one breaker which I found tripped. When I came downstairs in the morning, I went to turn my TV on in the family room (an addition) and I noticed there was no power in this room.
