I have not opened anything and I have not changed anything. I called an out of state friend of mine...who is a contractor that buys fixer uppers and flips them or rents them out and is familiar with doing electrical work...and he said the most common cause to lose the electricity on one side of the house is the electric company's problem and is usually a bad connection from one of the lines leading into the house. He said the first step is to give them a call and they will arrange to have a lineman come out and check their lines...which they should do free of charge. I will give them a call the first thing in the morning.
In the meantime I have ran drop cords from the working side of the house to the areas I need electricity to be working.
Thanks for the input guys.
