if you own your home than you know the feeling...."my house is falling apart". lately, i feel like everywhere i turn around our house something is breaking, leaking, out of date or literally falling apart. the other day at lilly's birthday party we rented a bit inflatable. the blower on the inflatable blew a breaker. no bid deal - right? except we couldn't find the breaker ANYWHERE. by the time it was all said and done we had hit every breaker on the circuit breaker including the "main" turning off all the power to the house. yet, we still couldn't get power to this one area - including our extra freezer and fridge, garage doors, and power to the shed where the blower was running. here we are two days later with extension cords running from the garage into the house to keep the freezer and fridge running and our cars parked outside.
thankfully our friend is an electrician - who was happy to come over and help us out. after about 30 minutes of testing and looking at the breakers he was ready to climb up into the attic....when he spotted it. he climbed down the ladder and pressed the reset button on the outlet the freezer had been plugged into and just like that - everything came to life. i felt so dumb. thanks walter!!!
