so, we thought the problem with the electricity had been solved with the replacement of the two fuses last week…

apparently, not so…

Saturday and Monday it happened again and lasted for two hours the last time… we weren’t able to get in touch with the electrician so called Hydro… of course we couldn’t get to a real person but left a power outage message… not long after, a real person did call and advised a technician would be out in the next while…

they arrived around dusk, and of course, the power had come back on, lol… that makes it much more difficult for them to figure out the problem…

after checking the recently replaced fuses, which were working properly, they checked the wires on the outside and discovered a connector that was hot and shouldn’t have been…

power was turned off (on purpose!), the connector was replaced, and the power turned back on…

hoping this has actually fixed the problem…

the power has gone off a few times over the last few days… only for a few seconds, and only in some parts of the house…

the only way to know for sure was the stove and microwave both flashing or showing 0…

many years ago we had an electrician tell us that there are two fuses that cover half the house each, but I couldn’t remember where they were, lol… my beloved had always dealt with those issues…

we called an electrician and he turned up early in the evening…

he knew right where those fuses were located (in a big gray box!) and then had to search online for where to find them as the electrical supply stores were already closed… so happy he found them and was able to pick them up and change them…

apparently this is an old way of putting electricity into houses, lol…

of course our house would have it, 🤪…
