Just purchased a home that is ~ 8 years home in the midwest. Since we havemoved in I have noticed that I am changing a lot of light bulbs in thehouse, evident in the basement and garage. These are standard 60W whitebulbs from GE. For example the 2 in the garage were replaced in lateFeb(with brand new bulbs) and they are both Blown already! The house has200A service and these fixtures are wired with 14-2 Romex. The fixtures arethe standard porcelain fixtures on a 3-way switch. Could I have a problemhere? What should I look for?Thanks, -Mike
