Electrical gremlins-Looking for advice

[SideShow Bob]

What room is above your kitchen ? Did you do any remodel or floor/ Lower wall penetration above the kitchen ? Do you have recessed can lights in the kitchen ?
Have you removed the switch plates in the kitchen to look for any obvious damage or burn marks ?

Our home office is above the kitchen, no recent renovations (5+ years). no can lights. I haven't pulled the switch plates, if I was gonna attempt the repair that would be my next step. I'm betting on a direct short in one of the switch boxes. I'm at work today, so I'm just gonna bite the bullet and let the electrician handle it. It's only money, after all, I can always make more..LOL
