Flaky Electricity

- The new APC that I bought won't stop beeping every four seconds or so. Very quietly. Not a full fledged tone, and the on-battery light never comes on, and the software never admits to there being a problem.
- Almost every one of the overhead lights in my house have fried half of their sockets.
- I'm losing a spotlight every other week in my kitchen.
- One of the lights outside has failed completely.
- The fancy low-voltage lighting system we had custom made for the stairwell won't come on.
The electricity in the house has definitely gone flaky. Not the nice, delicate flaky of a fine pie crust. No, no, no. This is the full-tilt bonzo crazy FLAKY of unexplained weirdness. 
To the rescue is Tim Swillinger, providing residential electrical work and solar energy systems to the Coastside. He took pages and pages of notes today, and he'll be back on Monday to do begin the real investigation as to WHY. A report will follow. He's afraid that he may have to rip out walls.
He doesn't have a web site, so I can't link to him. I enjoyed working with him today. Maybe some blog hosting and consulting could be traded for some repair work. 
Maybe not.
I think cake is in order.
