I needed to turn off power to the living room, no breakers seemed to work. So, I shut them all off one by one until the power shut off.

Turns out, I have to kill two breakers to kill living room power. Is this normal (I doubt it)? Easiest way to track this down?

I left one of them off.

They are separated by an unrelated breaker. #17 & #21

if you are unfamiliar with toning and isolating copper wire hire an electrician

Since I don't know what you typed, I guess I'll be calling someone.

Is one for lights? One for receptacles? You have to check. Test the receptacles to. If you aren't sure call an electrician

The lights and recepticals all turn off with these breakers. None turn off unless both breakers are tripped.

How much voltage you get in the receptacles. What's in this room? This sounds like they rigged up 220 in there
