Now you may think that this isn't a big deal, just get a new one and replace it. Well, it isn't that easy. We just had someone out to take a look at our circuit breaker box and all he said was that everything needed to be tightened up. So he made sure everything was screwed down tight and said that should take care of it. He didn't want anything for his time but Dad insisted on giving him something as he cleaned up the box, and checked all the circuits. Now you have to understand, everything was working OK at this point before anything was messed with.
He left, we were eating dinner and listening to speeches from the Democratic Conference. I happened to go into the room and saw that our TV was not on, the circuit breaker for the TV was off. The circuit breaker also works the outside porch light, the master bathroom light, and one of the bedroom lights. We could not get it back on.
Now we are without power to those areas until next Tuesday as it is Labor Day Weekend. Dad is more upset than I am about this. I tried to tell him that the circuit breaker handled more than the TV and the outside light. He did not listen to me until much later. I guess I did know a little more than he did this time.
I am not upset. Things happen. We have another TV to use. We have flashlights to use in the bathroom at night. Everything is good.
