Good Friday To Those Of You With Working Power...

Yep, Furnace, every surge protector I own, 1 refrigerator, 2 Bose radios, every light bulb in the house and I am still looking. All these things fried because the neutral wire fell off the transformer last night. The power company's guy I talked to last night said, "call your homeowners insurance".

I just spoke to the NY Public Service Commission and they said, don't call our homeowners insurance company. They said send the Power Company a list of costs and receipts and wait for their denial. Then they said they would get involved.

Needless to say, I am limping today.

Who knew that surge protectors were a one time use item? They all smoke and blow the circuit breakers when plugged in.
