    Outside outlets
    Suddenly for whatever reason none of my outside outlets work... outside lights do but not outlets. None of the breakers are tripped... I shut them off and on again but still nothing.
    Where do I begin my troubleshooting/

    Have you looked at the outlets and are they GFI outlets? If they are then you will have to reset each one manually. I had that happen recently after heavy rains.

    If you don't find GFI outlets outside, look inside. If you have a garage look there. Could be in bath or kitchen.
