Thanks for posting this, David.
Cover is on and the tripping problem should now be at least reduced since I
was able to split the circuit such that the kitchen and den are on one
breaker (now #7) and the hallways on another (#8). In addition, the LC
extension cord (to which the overhead light strings are attached) has been
removed from that same circuit and put on #6, which is powering a temporary
receptacle in LC that we're also using for our power tools.
All nine of the other breakers are turned off since they're no longer doing
anything, although I'm unwiring them only after confirming what they're
actually attached to. Most of these were to now-defunct lighting and power
circuits in the bar area. Next week several will be repurposed for new
receptacle circuits in LC to be installed along the newly-sheetrocked walls.
The note taped to the front of the panel now reflects this new condition.
Some of these circuits are going to be hard to trace and if so will be left
in place for the time being with the breaker off, so if anyone notices a
loss of power to anything that was working as of last week, please let me
know.
If possible, I'll get the den onto a separate circuit from the kitchen.

The tireless volunteers Steve Bloom (

believe Rayc ( what is is email - anyone know? ) are in the midst of
decommissioning electrical runs from to La Commune, from the panel in Rise
Above that also feeds the oft-tripping breaker to the upstairs.
All, before touching this panel, please attempt to communicate first with
Steve or Rayc regarding whether it safe to do. Specifically, all, NEVER
reach your hand inside a panel that does not have a cover plate on
(covering the electrical wires and connections), even if it is only to flip
a breaker. Instead, at a minimum, put the cover plate back on first.
This panel includes the oft-tripping breaker for the Kitchen and TIL etc
offices - #8, so please pay heed.
Steve showed me that he decommissioned breakers # 7 & 11.
Breakers 3&4 were I believe decomissioned by an electrician hired by Rise
Above.
#8 is the one that always trips and needs to be worked on / rewired to
prevent this
Please see the photo below for reference.. thanks!
