One thing to remember for the future about all this is being able to be in control. About 25 years ago there was a trend to put receptacles on switches in the room for child safety. In a number of the rooms in my house I ran the power line from the breaker to a 20 amp switch, than to the receptacles. Some rooms have more than one switch and all rooms have one receptacle that is not switched. In a normal room all power can be killed when leaving by flipping a switch which I had done for safety for my children. In my living room the one that is not switched is on a seperate auxliary panel that is switched to be powered from my generator during a power outage, along with my microwave in the kitchen, minor lights and my furnace. ...................bob
