Some $800 Later!


We don't have any more power problems, although we are still on a temporary fix right now. It turns out our main breaker was bad, which apparently "almost never happens" and will be $280 to replace. Unfortunately, because this is so rare, no one in town actually had the breaker that we need so it will be 10 days before they can get it in. They replaced it with a different one to get us by for the 10 days and then will come again and install the correct one once they get it.

So you say, $280 isn't close to $800 what is she thinking?! Well the power problems managed to ruin our TV so OF COURSE we had to replace the cheap $200 27" RCA with a $500 32" Vizio LCD HDTV! It is interesting, with a dark brown frame as opposed to the regular black or grey we normally see. The brown is so dark that if no one told you you'd probably just look at it and think it is black. The picture actually makes it look much more brown than it does in person.
