RE: Weekend-engagement topic week 55: The gift

That fits both categories doesn't it?

I'm sitting here with an extension cord across my living room floor to power my computer because I have electrical problems. I'd like to be really pissed, but the truth is the air conditioner works fine (it's going to be 45C today) and I think I've figured out what I need to do to fix the broken circuit. And it's MY place. There's a lot to be said for that.

Sort:  

True having your own place is so valuable. Hope you work out the electricity issue and can keep cool today, because man 45 degrees is hot!

Why not rent for a while? I might rent until the market lets up. While it isn't what you wanted to do, you might be able to pick up a sweet deal if the market crashes.

Haha I already gave up on buying. This is trying to rent. The market for renting is just as horrible here. We got rejected the other day because we responded too late... It had been for rent for 3 hours...

I'm glad you could finally solve that problem

The aircon is of utmost importance in heat like that, running extension should be OK till you get to fix that circuit breaker.

Perhaps an electrician not a bad idea.... just saying we can't always fix everything in life!

Yeahhhhhhh. An Electrician might be the right idea. I can fix it, and I know damn well I can fix it, but the time it will take me with the power completely off is problematic. I can go sit in the Coffee shop until the electrician finishes. I KNOW I can.

I'll know my choice in 24 hours. Monday morning.

Coffee shop sounds like a great option.... or wait for winter to repair on cooler days! Sweltering heat without an AC is problematic!

Electrical stuff could have hair raising events too..., well till Monday 😁

I don't think it'll last til cooler weather, else that's what I'd do. I've pretty much got myself talked into a pro.

😃 Way to go!

Turns out it was a really good choice :) He wired my house into the master switch so he could take out the (obsolete) breaker switch and find one. So all my house circuits are full functioning.

Sometimes it works out cheaper to have someone arrive and do it for you, much has changed in electricity, they normally know ways of getting around problems.

Now to relax boil the coffee, enjoy the airconditioner and have a shower using everything without a worry 😄well done!
