Crap - a man would WAIT to fix it ????

Why didn't I think of that !!!

WHY O WHY MUST I BE A WOMAN...

hmmm.... I bet the woman in my house would be making the man in my house fix it now...

I'm just saying.

The peace of mind thing - safety - is driving me nuts.

It is the household breaker box - it just happens to be on the outside of the house - my neighbors house ironically - stupid home builders.

I don't think it is the electric companies thing - wouldn't that be on the pole, instead of the house?

The initial one that tripped would not let me reset it - now god only knows what else has tripped since there are now new other parts tripped.

But my personality will probably not let it rest til morning - I can't stand things unsolved. I may have to go try to solve it.

Thanks for your input.

if its a fuse in the meter then the eletric company would, if its not in a box they own, chances are an electrician would

oh crap now a few other sections of the house are out - and it is pouring outside - so not going go play with the breaker box in the rain

Just made me wonder - if the breaker is broken in the box - outside the house - does an electrician come fix it or the electric company?

hmmmm... sugar dadddy...

interesting...

I really just need a help mate - someone who helps me with things like my taxes - LOL - and fixing my car...

But mostly I just like a partner for companionship - pretty much everything else I can find a way to provide for myself. Someone to walk through the journey of life with and someone to experience the adventure of life. Good company is something that no amount of money can buy...

I'm just sayin...

Sorry just had a little fire fighter moment - power surge blew out my living room fuse.

It is raining here. My fuse box is outside on the back of my neighbors house.

So in the dark I have been skulking around for the last hour trying to fix it. It seems to have screwed a few fuses.

I was unable to reset the living room one - it would not let me. So I had resigned myself to deal with it tomorrow - with an electrician - out of the rain.

I just came back in my house - was resetting my internet into another plug in the house - and another power surge - and voila - the living room plugs got electricity back !!!

So tada - no more playing with electricity in the rain !!!

Last time this happened in my kitchen a fire started from the surge which burned the inside of the plug/wall - and tripped the breakers. But it involved some re-wiring and electical attention. And thank god - no FD - for a full on fire inside the wall.
