Electricity

Being without it brings out the suck in all the comforts of home
Ours went out around 2:00 or 3:00 Sunday.
On a good note, glad I didn't ass up and sell the welder/generator...

Could use enuf wire to make an extention cord to get to the dryer plug,
If one of you electricians had 50 feet laying around reasonably priced.
It would be nice to turn on the hot water heater/stove also..
O yea the A/C too....

Am backfeeding the Recepticles on the 110 side now, which works well but
some of the lights on the back side of the house don't work. Kitchen/Bathrooms
Not sure whats up with that? I would have thought all the 110 would have worked?
GFI issue maybe?

I have heard anywhere from 3 days to a week without electric, Guess we will see.

Mine went out about the same time; but came back on around midnight. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.

Relatives in the Reading/Blue Ash area went out about the same time and is still out. Mother-in-law's work was closed today because of it. I guess the positive side is that two brother-in-laws work for the fire department and are getting good overtime!

I'm using inverters and dc power (batteries and jump boxes) to power lighting. Good thing I bought a couple of LED floods. They will light a room with 2 watts. The 23 watt compact flourescent will light the first floor. Got coffee maker to work this morning. Hope they get the power on soon.

I'm in Mt. Lookout. Power came back on at lunch today! Thank goodness. The sink was filling up with dirty dishes.
