Stupid User Error
Turns out my transfer switch and generator setup are good to go. My problem was trying to plug in the generator extension cord while the generator main breaker was on. Apparently the twist lock extension cord will always trip the breaker if it’s running. Having the generator main breaker off until everything is setup and […]
Not According to Plan
The original plan for the day was to go to the beach for the first time with the girls. When we finally got up at 8 after a night of many wakings with both girls and found it to be pouring rain, we decided today wasn’t such a good day for the beach. Instead the […]
CamelCamelCamel
If you haven’t noticed, the prices of things on Amazon fluctuate. To combat/manage this there’s a nice website called CamelCamelCamel that tracks the prices of items on Amazon. You create an account, load up the items you’re looking for, set the price you’re looking to pay, and CamelCamelCamel emails you if your item ever hits […]
Some Projects
After some play this weekend (maybe more on that later), got around to some projects. First was mounting up the transfer switch. Of course that was the easy part. I still have to run and split the conduit to my two boxes, then wire it all in. That will probably take a couple of hours […]
The 4th
Got our pictures up from the 4th of July. See them in the gallery here. Still need to get my sister’s pictures up. I also posted pictures from our quick trip to the Strawberry Festival. The girls got to ride their first roller coaster and other such questionable safety carnival attractions. See them in the […]
Polar Bear Jumps
Did I mention Abigail is now diving into the pool from the diving board? Yeah! She points her head down and dives right in – backpack floaty and all. It’s crazy. – b
i luv you mommy & daddy
Lauren and Abigail are both on a “I love you” kick. It’s pretty nice. – b
Here We Go
Of course it won’t install without some modification. I have two boxes I need to wire it to, which means splitting the connectors. Then there’s the inlet plug to wire… Either way we’re a lot closer to more convenience when the power goes out. – b
Again!
I’ve got almost 500 pictures to upload from the 4th of July weekend. In the meantime, here’s some videos of the girls enjoying the zip line my Dad setup. Hmmmm. Do you think they liked it? – b
Power Outage
Lost power about 7:30 Tuesday night. Was the strangest little storm. There wasn’t a whole lot of rain or wind while we were in the garage watching it, but in the time we went inside, got caught in the dark in the basement, found flashlights and made it back upstairs everything was blown all over […]
