IsItFridayYet?
I'm trying to keep my cool.
We are going on our adult only trip this weekend. husband has actually been working on getting the camper ready (make sure the hitch and lights work with the new truck, checking the a/c, etc.) Great. A step in the right direction.
Last night, he pulled it to the house, plugged it in, planned to turn on the a/c and carry out his clothes, etc. And this is where I'm attempting to not lose my cool.
Our house is ancient. was moved to its current location in 1905, pulled by ox. I have pictures. It has 60amp service to the house. That's less than half of most new houses, so we have to be aware of what we are running at any given time. Especially in the summer with the a/c going inside.
The shop is even lower, and I think just last year, we lost both deep freezes. We had the electric company come out and they determined they died from low voltage, and said the way the service was wired to the shop, it might support 2 deep freezes if nothing else was running, but he'd be much more comfortable with 1. So, we rushed around and found 2 small deep freezes for next to nothing that bought us time to get a bigger one. We got the bigger one just before my accident, so its just been sitting out there, not plugged in, waiting for someone to transfer stuff from the little ones to it.
A couple weeks ago, apparently, husband plugged it in and started putting stuff in it, but quit. So I find out now there are THREE deep freezes running in this shop, in addition to all the cordless battery chargers plugged in and a light he leaves on all the time.
So what does he do? He brings the camper down and PLUGS IT INTO THE SHOP, TOO!!! And when he does, he starts throwing breakers. When he finds a plug in that doesn't throw the shop breaker, it starts throwing the breaker in the camper, and he starts tearing into the wiring box in the camper deeming it the problem, when he knows dang good and well he's not plugged into a usable electric source.
And when I said something about the electric, and low voltage, and the electrician's advice, etc? He threw everything on the ground and stomped off yelling how he can't do anything right for me.
Seriously?
