a couple weeks ago i was sitting on the couch eating supper watching TV with Paul and i glance over at an electrical socket on the wall and notice a burn mark on it. Seen this sort of thing before (so i thought) no big deal right?

wrong.

I asked Paul if he knew anything about it to which he said "no" so i guess it was the maid that did it with the vacuum cleaner. (will make sense here in a little bit).

what really, REALLY, pisses me off is that nothing was said of the smoked outlet. i wasn't pissed until i went to replace the socket last saturday night. scorched doesn't even come close. destroyed does though.

When I opened up the junction box cover and saw the extent of the damage is when i got pissed. this could have caused a serious fire.

(going to be a two post thread here)

here is the outlet:
