I AM GOING TO TAKE A SHOWER THIS EVENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Next to the fusebox there is a panel with a comically large switch to turn on/off the power for the whole apartment. Inside *that* panel are two big cylindrical fuses, one of which was dead.)

Arrgghhh, if only I had had that detail before. I installed that configuration dozens of times when I was a teen. I feel like an idiot for not having thought of that possibility.

So I take it this is knowledge that cost you a few Benjamins to attain?

Ardiril: guy.

I do have one big switch that's just on or off for all the power. It's next to the fusebox.

It cost me no Benjamins. It *did* cost me about a Laurier for a few new fuses that turned out to not be necessary. But the fuse that was responsible for the whole thing was covered by the landlord. (I doubt it cost much.)

Thank Heavens!

I was just thinking about you... I was going to tell you it's past time to take it to the housing authority or whatever legal body it is that spanks asshole landlords.

And I'm so glad you are taking a shower! ('cuz, really it was sort of starting to get a little smelly in here.)

my roommate uses a space heater for that. I'm a bath person, though, so when I get out the heat remains with me for a while. I like it "almost hot enough to boil a human alive" temperature.
