Hey there Mike, Im NOT any trained or professional "electrician" (longggggg retired distribution design engineer) however I wouldnt bet the farm on your statement:

"I would totally expect if I called an electrician given how intermitant this has been they would find nothing ,but an expensive bill"

While that may be true, a trained experienced professional may be able to determine the cause EVEN IF ITS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY as they know where and what to look for such as evidence of arcing,,,,,,,,loose connections,,,,, faulty breakers perhaps EVEN WHERE A NON TRAINED LAY PERSON MAY NOT FIND THE CAUSE.

I enjoy helping whenever I can here on electrical related topics and when such a question is asked many come out of the woodwork with well intentioned suggestions (some right some wrong some professional some lay opinions) as they all seem willing to help just like most tractor loving folk tend to do and God Bless em all for that. There are likely trained professional electricians here, an engineer or two or three, untrained lay persons who have wired their own homes or shops and perhaps others with little training or experience BUT THEY ALL TRY TO HELP and I sure wouldnt fault anyone who in good faith and conscience advises seeking trained professional advice when the cost couldnt possibly exceed the risk of a persons life when it comes to electrical and fire safety.

Its your home and your money so the decision is yours so hope you find the problem either alone or with professional help and it could be as simple as a bad breaker or a loose connection or an appliance or an intermittent short

God Bless and best wishes to you and all the good folks here

John T

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c ...
