What I learned yesterday:
The butthead developer who built this house didn't wire it properly.
:12:
My room is kinda small but, the house was built in 2004 and we bought it new. You would think he would have planned for modern conveniences like computers, televisions, modems, refrigerators etc. to all be running at once.
Yesterday morning I am rushing to get ready because I have to take my dad to the doctor. I am in my bedroom. The following items were on when the power went out.
In my room:
27" television
cable box w/DVR
2 lamps (1 -60 watt & 1-40 watt)
cable modem
desk top PC
printer
5,000 BTU portable A/C unit
alarm clock
blow dryer
curling iron
Apparently it was the curling iron that tripped the breaker, everything was fine until I plugged that into the outlet.
Oh the laundry room is on my side of the house and the washing machine was running too...until I plugged in the curling iron. :tongue: :12:
Grrrr, don't even get me started on the fact the central air doesn't work in my room because the ducts are too small, which is why I have to have a portable A/C unit in my room in the first place.
