MMMMMMMM, sweet electricity

Looks like we are back up and running. The electrician was back yesterday, I guess the box/panel he put in had to go in a certain way and I don't think it was the way he'd put it in the first time. But we now have a new breaker box and everything is humming along fine.

Just have to put the dryer back together and we are all set.

I am really not looking forward to what the bill is going to come to. The electrician works on the commercial end of things, home repairs aren't his thing, so wasn't sure how much everything was going to cost. I am hoping that him coming back the 2nd day isn't going to be added to the bill.

Have a bit of clean up to deal with, nothing too bad. Need to seal the hole in the door where the extension cord was run thru.

We've a friend coming to visit this weekend, looking forward to a relaxing couple of days visiting.

Interestingly, coincidentally--is there a conspiracy?--we had some, um, odd electrical happenings Friday night. Power stayed up, despite our fears, but we fried three or four surge protectors, and a coffee maker. And a TV. Sped up the move to "the other house", so we'll be in by XMas, at the latest.

If someone else pops up with electrical problems this last weekend, I'm voting for conspiracy LOL!

At least you didn't fry computers. That would be bad.

I suppose Im lucky in a way.... I have friends who are plumbers, electricians, gas engineers, and central heating experts...... and even though they charge if they have to come out and sort me out, its not anything like near what they would charge on a normal call out, and it also means they come out the same day.... not that Ive really had to use them much.... now saying that, something is bound to go tits up lol

LOL, yeah, be very careful about jinxing yourself :D

It is a pity none of our friends are professional electricians. They are handy in other ways, so that helps.
