Check your breakers again. Sometimes they don't look like they've kicked, but they have.

Also, if you have a GFCI outlet somewhere, it will shut off an entire circuit if it's been tripped.

Everything downstream from the outlet, unless you have gfci breaker on the entire circuit.

Code is for gfci in kitchens now.

Also to reiterate as posted above, lightly tap the breakers to make sure it is not tripped.

Be careful 120 probably won't kill you, but 240 will.

The voltage doesn't kill you, but the current will sure fuck you up.

It looks pretty much just like a regular electrical outlet. They will be situated in places where they might get wet, such as bathrooms, kitchens, etc. They will have either a pop-out indicator on them, or in the newer ones, a red LED light that indicates they've kicked.

It sounds like your house has had the wiring updated, if it has a breaker box. A house as old as that one would have a fusebox if it hadn't been re-wired.

Or possibly both - in different parts of the house.

Exactly part of the house could be old wiring, but just tied into with new fuse box

Ahhhh ok, I know what those are. Just didn't know what they are called, No I don't believe there are any of those in the house. I should mention that my fear is that it may be mouse related. My house sits on 2 1/2 acres and there is a field with two 10 acre ponds right behind me, and then nearly an entire section of woods and pastures behind that, I am wondering if by some chance a little critter may have been looking for a warm spot and got into the walls somehow and chewed into a wire? Like I mentioned earlier, all the problems are in one corner of downstairs, no other part of the house is affected.

You don't have a knobs and tubes system do you.

Look for an outlet with two buttons on its face. One is usually red and one is white.

I thought the same thing, so I flipped every one of them and still did not find one that had tripped.

How old is your house or how modern is the electrical system?
The original house was built sometime after the turn of the century, I believe the upstairs was an add on, but couldn't swear to that. I do know the owner at one point had remodeled the entire home so I am not real sure how old the electrical sysem is.
