Being very new to working with things electrical, I'm not sure what's happened. The power to our suite recently went out in some of the rooms (1/2 of the suite) while not in others. All other homes in the neighbourhood had power thus, eliminating a general power outage. The electrical panel switches were intact, i.e. not tripped. This happened on 3 different occasions over a 12 hour period of time. The biggest puzzle is that two of the outlets, I believe, are on the same circuit. One had power, while the other did not. I'm in a ground level suite of an older home. We've recently added a number of applicances and computers as well as other office and entertainment componentry. Not sure if this is the actual cause of the problems we've recently experienced. Any ideas or suggestions?

I have been plagued with the task of getting electrical to the island in my kitchen.I dont want to come from the basement, because I would have to go through cement-asbestos sheet panel. I have been given a sugg by someone, not an electrician, of channeling out my 3/4" subfloor, and either runningromex, or running conduit in that channel. This would be covered by cement board and ceramic tile. Would this be kosher, or am I running into probs. I want to do this right, but dont want to disturb the asbestos. Any suggestions Thanks alot
