We blew a gaskett - or circut pannel?!?


So wednesday night, without realizing it, we were doing too much at once in our household...

  • Dishwasher
  • Washer
  • Dryer
  • Computer
  • Home theatre
  • Space Heater
  • Elliptical Machine....
We blew a breaker right? Not a big deal right - go flip the switch... flip flip flip.... Nothing!

Hmmm... Damage done? Hopefully not too much!

Downstairs, 2 of the 4 walls in the basement are down (plugs don't work), but the lights do, so we still have the good TV, stereo & elliptical.

The Washer & Dryer and plugs work in the laundry room, but the overhead light does not (luckily the hall light gives enough light to see in there).

On the main floor - the whole living room is out including the heated baseboards!

Sigh. I will have to find a megga long extention cord to get the internet up and running to run off the laptop. I just hope it doesn't cost us an arm and a leg!

too funny. When we first moved in here, we had that problem constantly. Couldn't have the computer going while the dishwasher went. Couldn't have the microwave, computer and one of the plugis on. It was frustrating. When albert traced it all out, we had like 14-15 things each on 3 breakers. Crazy!!!!
