Just moved into a new town home (built 2004). The 3 way switch operating hall light upon entry from garage does not work properly (this was missed at inspection). The 1st switch (near entry door) does not turn on light in either position, regardless of position of 2nd switch (near front door). The 2nd switch does turn on lights in up position, regardless of position of 1st switch. If either switch is placed in 'middle' position, light does not work. In examining 1st switch box, there is a six wire cable...ground, 2 black (attached to two left hand terminals on switch), 1 red (attached to right hand terminal on switch), and 2 white (spliced together via wire nut). In examining 2nd switch, same situation as to which colored wires are attached to terminals. There are two other switches in this box. I didn't pull them out, and there is quite a bit of wiring in this box, so not quite sure of the details of what all is going in and out of this box. Hoping there's a simple solution (i.e., problem not 'in the walls'). Thanks.

House and Shop. Both go back to the utility pole on separate lines. I was hoping to use a Network Powerline unit from the house to the shop but no go. I am pretty sure the big cables and brown line in the left conduit go to the house and the double breaker on the bottom and striped cable in the right conduit go to the shop. Is it possible without losing current line safety? So not removing the double breaker and moving the shop cables up to the big cable clamps. Reading up on phase couplers but haven't come across anything showing it on a utility pole. Update: I remembered that I have an x10 xpcr unit that I bought a few years ago but never used.

Am I looking at 4 110v cables here? 2 at the top with the big clamps and then two at the bottom breaker? Thanks [ATTACH]70812[/ATTACH]
