Re: Home Electrical Wiring, Experts Advice Please

I tried to get my dad to call someone, but all he said was "It has been working fine for 20 years..." I also found out that our bathroom is connected to the same circuit as the GFCI outlet, although I'm not sure if it connected to the load side. I'm going to ask one of our engineers at Fusion if they can come by and check it out. I'm scared of electrical fires, and I would hate for our house to burn down. I asked my mom about it, and she doesn't know of any electricians, and that my dad is the one that knows some. I'll try to get something worked out. Hopefully my dad will realized that if our house burns down, that we are probably under-insured and that he will loose over $30,000 worth of American oak antiques. We're leaving that circuit off until we (I) decide what we're going to do about this. My dad says to just wire it back up without thinking of what caused this to happen in the first place (my guess is that over the 20 years, the dishwasher and the coffee maker have slowly burned the wire out until today, where the wire completely failed). Thanks for all the help, and if you have any more ideas, please tell me, as I'm always open to opinions.
