House update 🥲
a year ago
So.... yeah ... ~sighs~
I'll start where I left off.
We called like 5 electricians. No one in our area returned our call but the one 40 mins away. So we had to pay an extra fee for him to drive out here. He thought the same that maybe a nail hit something to electrify the wall something. It was very strange to him. We turned on the power to see what would happen and the bedroom and computer room was not working FOR WHATEVER REASON. He could tell we were stressed and spending a lot of money and was counting on the crew manager to fix it, so he told him how and left. Crewman cut off the outside wall to find the damage and no wires. he looked lower and found wires but no damage to them. We had to call back the electricion and we were dreading how much it would cost to have him back because he admitted that his company is expensive. at this point, my head was spiraling worrying that people were playing us and this and that. I only got 3 hours of sleep last night in worry about today. (I was like fuck it at some point and worked on commission sketches, which relaxed me.) Oh yeah, my dad came out and looked at everything to try and help figure out the cause. He does most of the electrical work around his house so he doesn't need to pay people. But he is old and just got over chemo so he's not going in our attic. He said it has to be that ceiling fan, a missing wire that didn't get hooked into it. So today, the electricity came. He spent like 2 hours troubleshooting. opening plug boxes, light fixtures, testing currents, and found we have two juncture boxes in the attic along with a master bedroom ceiling light that is still there just covered up. (Those stupid previous homeowners, that room could use a light! 😠) Everything seemed fine but no power to them, so he was thinking, "At this point, it HAS to be something stupid." So he looked at the electrical box and THE F-INF SWITCH to the MASTER BEDROOM AND SECOND BEDROOM TURNED OFF! He flipped it on and everything works! So since Friday, no one has noticed that the switch was off. Not Chris. Not the Crewman. I have no idea what anything is on that thing. Not my dad. not the certified electrician! To be fair, we were all focused on the wrong switch, I think it's all the way at the bottom vs. the other all the way at the top. Anyway, the electrician felt foolish so he didn't charge us for the second trip. Witch is amazing because it was going to cost over $1k for him to troubleshoot.
So now were were at. We've paid off the siding job and we just need the Crew to come back and fix the hole in the side of our house and finish the siding on that wall.
I need to relax my self. I feel like I've been on edge to the point where I feel like a consent sense of dread. I think I just need to do some art and play some games.
Anyway, thanks for reading this, Sorry for all the drama stuff I need to find more positive things to talk about on Journals, but like I feel like not much happens besides work. XD;;
I hope you all doing well. 💙
Smol announcement to those who are still reading, Next week (unless something gets in the way) I'm going to be doing that Free Headshot Raffle day. This is a stream event. you just need to pop in, get the URL in chat, and fill out the form. Winners will be selected randomly and I'll see how many I can get in my workday (I can't do the full day lol). Last time I think I did 15 of them. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51860261/

I'm glad the electricity is working again! ~

it's silly but I've missed my bed side clock XD

That's so totally valid!!!

That does sound concerning. But I'm glad the electrician didn't charge you anything, since he realized his mistake. I am sorry though you still have to go through all of that.

Thanks, I'm happy it's over now.
