I just purchased a house and when I moved in the door bell did not work. I went into the basement and found the wire that runs to the buttons (front door, and side door). I then followed the wire to the circut breaker. The wire was hanging above the circut breaker not attached to anything :( There were two screws on the side of the circut breaker that also had no wires going to it and from the position of the wire hanging this was a very logical solution. I screwed the wires to the screws and I had a working door bell! :D .... well until last week. :confused: After visitors kept knocking on the door I tried the door bell to see why no one was using it. The button is still lit up but when you push it, the bell does not ring. The wires are still connected in the basement. So... two questions... 1. Why would you suppose the wires were disconnected in the first place? 2. Why would the bell stop working now?. Thanks for any replies, they are much appreciated!

I have 3 open spots in my electrical panel, I would like to have a 220 outlet for my table saw and then 2 circuits of 110 outlets around the walls for A/C, and other tools, Can I use two of the spots for the 220 and then use mini breakers for the 2 110 circuits. Are there any other options for me to do what I want? Are there any drawback to using Minis? Where can I find Minis? Thanks (Tandem or twin breakers is what I mean by mini)
