troubleshooting today: some of the living room receptacles and the overhead lite didn't work. I followed wires underneath and found that if I turned on a switch in the basement that didn't seem to do anything down there, the receptacles and lite would work.
it was a 3/way switch with a hot on one of the traveler screw, flip it off and nothing, flip it on and the circuit works.
combined with some of the other stuff I saw it was as if someone had just hooked things up at random until they worked.
