More rain, more cool. I did get "some" mulch out of run-should have gotten more before I dumped yard cuttings in there. Sprinkled some bermuda grass seed out in bare spots. Had a spot from runoff where roots were exposed, seed then mulch, then packed it down. I got almost entire property mowed, I quit after 4 hours.
Raining now, and cool. I guess I'll have Hoodie on in August

Lost power last night for 2 1/2hrs, raining and cold today. AC running yesterday, heater running today, typical Texas weather.

I have 2 thinks playing in the back of my brain…. a) this has been an on-going repeat since sometime yesterday,”… cash me out’-side…” (dare I bet y’all know that disrespect daughter from a decade ago?)
b) lyrics from Alice Cooper’s song, “Welcome to my nightmare.”

Struggling with the electrical breaker mystery…. Discovered that the 15A GFI breaker is for:
the living room “entertainment center” wall outlets, recessed lights for living room, special light over faux fire place, hallway light into master bedroom, patio outlets, pantry, mud room light, laundry room & garage light.

That seems a bit over 15AMPs? This house was built ‘06/07 we got it summer of ‘11. The first full year we lived here, I was finding *wierd* things done by the builders that often made me do double takes or even triple takes.
I’ve never had an issue with this circuit in all these years. So to discover all the daisy-chaining on this circuit is making wonder *where I’m gonna start inspecting.

My ADHD is flared up today…. So it’s time to draw it on graph paper to keep from wandering down countless rabbit holes…

Like…… yeah….

Know that feeling, the house we are currently in my father bought back in 1991 and was built late 70's early 80's. It has issues or is that character? Can not run the microwave along with the coffeemaker or dishwasher. Also can't run dishwasher and coffeemaker together. Lots of wiring problems my brother will be working on.

My dad never bothered just reminded us not use thos appliances at the same time.

That's definitely character!

My husband gets to play with electrical issues in the house. I always know it's going well when he opens the box and starts cussing....

Profanity is not my *tool* of choice.
Yes I was a sailor. Never cussed like one.
Too many other words to use.

As for electrical fun….
Tester(s)
pigtails with different alligator clips
Notepad and writing utensil to draw out the circuit and take notes along the way as I disassembled it….
