No power to microwave or fireplace

Wife said the microwave was acting funny, then it quit working. I checked the light switch and the fireplace. No power to either. Remembered a previous post here about the junction boxes under the kitchen slide. Getting to the point, the wire nuts were put on by a person with limited skill IMNSHO. I soldered the wires together and all is fine now. Wife is happy, I am too. May up my tool count that I carry with us to include a soldering gun and solder.

Although I have a complete soldering kit on board I have yet to find a use for it, The only place I see solder is on the CKT boards and you would need a good PACE kit for that.

illapah,
You are right, anytime you can replace a wire nut or crimped connection it is a good moove. My problem is I usually find these bad connects at the worst time like when the brake wires came apart atop a mountain in Newfoundland. I have a great supply of wire ties and goop to hold wires in place. Maybe one of those little propane soldering irons will need to be my next purchase -- just in case.
