I’ve got an incredibly hard to access circuit breaker behind the fridge. That’s the best I can give you.
See this is funny because, as an electrician, everyone who calls me can’t seem to shut up long enough to let me actually answer questions
Gimme a damn second to process what you just explained, think, and then translate into Normie Layman. Im fast but it still takes a moment, please lol
comes up from behind, neck tickled by their breath “Found the culprit yet?”
“The electric things in my house currently don’t and I would like them to not that?”
“How do you turn your electricity off during an emergency?”
Gestures to the prayer sticks
Thats the emergencies job
The electricity is still on how much of an emergency is it really?
The question is whether the lightning is staying in the wires or not
lightning can have a little freedom, as a treat.
The prayer of discontinuation does start… with a prayer?
May the Omnissiah put copper wiring on your journey of knowledge
I really want an AdMech robe for troubleshooting gigs
Really any trade. I don’t want to find the main shutoff to your house but if you want to get the water out sometimes we need to dig random holes in your front yard to find it.
Same in HVAC-R. I had a customer complain to me the other day about “having to teach one of my coworkers how to do their job” because that coworker asked where the condensing unit for their walk in cooler was located. Like my coworker should have just immediately known the exact layout of that site.
But thats fine, the customer is paying $280 per hour so if they’d rather I spend the time galavanting around their site finding where things are on my own then that’s on them. It’s actually nice they told me that they were an asshole up front so I knew not to worry about saving them any money.
metal detectors work wonders for finding gates! that, and a long poking-stick to make sure it’s the right thing before pulling up the sod
My cleanouts are PVC. All you get is the stick. I’ve learned that as soon as they’re located, put a couple bricks and a lawn ornament on top.
Edit: misread… you can definitely find the shutoff with a metal detector. Mine will twist your ankle though, no mystery where it is.
