We had problems with our electrician from the very beginning. It didn't matter what momma said, he would say the opposite. When we moved in, we had light switches that we still do not know what they go to. But the biggest problem is that I am constantly blowing fuses. My bedroom is in the basement and we have a dehumidifier that runs the majority of the time. Well, if I turn on my blow dryer when the dehumidifier is on, it knocks out all the power in the basement. Also, we live in Alabama and the majority of people in the south have deep freezers. Our house in not wired for one and we found this out by the freezer going out and sitting for a couple of days before we realized it. Our ceiling fans that he put up doesn't even want to work correctly. We found out later that the electrician had just gone through a bad divorce and he was just down on women. Everybody we talked to says he should have known to set up the fuses differently. We have decided that he cursed our house and that is why nothing wants to work. He no longer works for the contractor who built our house. Julie, my mom got a divorce a few years ago and decided to build a house. We had problems with our electrician from the very beginning.

I have been known to have "BRAINLOCK MOMENTS" too. Like back out of your garage with your car door open. I could go on and on with some things that I have done when my mind is somewhere else.

When I can't find my car keys, the first thing my husband asks is, "did you check the frig?" Liza, the ONLY reason he lived is because he left! He was doing plumbing work and cut himself badly (or burned, I wasn't sure) and dropped the blow torch and ran out. I ran after him, not knowing about the blowtorch and left my daugther inside watching Blues Clues. I came back in minutes later and saw the blowtorch. I screamed. The guy came in, shut it off, then took off and went the hospital. The whole event took all of two minutes...trust me, he never came back! Jeannie, we’re soul sisters.

Good luck with your electricity problem and with the last 50 pages!!!

Julie it sounds totally naomal to me, but my forgetfulness I blame on old age. Example: Came home from work with a loaf of bread, container of 1/2 & 1/2. Okay it was late and it had taken AAA, 2 hours to get to my work place and get my car started. I had left the lights on and it was freezing here last night. This morning I got up and could not find my car keys. If I hadn't decided to have a coffee and some toast and calm down, I'd have torn the house apart. I would never have found the keys. It seems I put the keys in the bread box, the bread in the frig and left the cream out on the counter. So much for gingsen tea and memory loss. :coffee: Kelly, I have 2 bathroom heaters north of Boston, :thumbsup:Can't imagine being without them. Our house has the "2 heating element issue" too. Doesn't matter coffee pot, flat iron, heater or dryer. no two can run at the same time. Even had an electrician take the frig off and put on it's own circuit and it didn't help. Do I forget? Sure, it's fun to drive hubby crazy every now and then. He's our circuit breaker flipper here. :lol::lightbulb:Hope your electrician is kind. you all are so funny.
