    Bathroom outlets inop
    Have a house and both bathroom outlets have no power to outlets, they are not GFI outlets, house built about 1980, not required... No circuit breakers off in outside panel... how do I fix this?

    Sorry, but this is wrong.
    GFI protection for bathroom receptacles was implemented in 1975.

    Find your tripped GFI and your receptacles will work.
    Unfortunately it could be anywhere. I know of a 1975 home where two bathroom receptacles and two outside receptacles were on one GFI breaker. So you may be in for some detective work.

    ... we used to install the GFI's in the garage somewhere near the panel...
