Aw So Sorry!
Best thing you can ever do for yourself is to get a book on basic home repairs...you would be suprised how easy electrical work is (provided you turn the power off LOL)!
I do my own, having been taught by friends with degrees in the field....that was years ago and just the basic knowledge has lead me through re-wiring half of my old home in AZ as well as changing out light switches in this one.
I have even installed a security lighting system outdoors...running conduit underground and fishing the line through to set up in a new power box, but that was detailed work that required me to at least need someone watching over my shoulder to make sure I did not lightthe property up lol.
I hope you get your power back soon!
Moni
