How can we sleep with all that blower noise?
My previous hub page was about the ceiling falling to to floor. Please read and then continue here. It's an ordeal for sure.
Seniors, have you ever heard factory blowing noises all the time somewhere during your youth? Well just try to sleep with all that going on. You see, the floors were so wet with tons of water, after the carpet was pulled out, that Serv Pro had to install 15 blowers blowing all over the floor and in some places pointed up to the ceiling, trying to dry it out. They unfortunately said it would take several days. SEVERAL DAYS!!!! The place sounded like a car wash sounds as it is blowing your car dry coming thru the chute. OK Just have to bear it So at 11:50 pm that fateful night the Clean up guys left us with all the blowers going full blast. HEY NOW WHAT HAPPENED! All the lights are out. It's dark in here. Yeah I know Circuit breakers. Ok get the flash light.
Go down in the basement with the flash light and trip the breakers back on. Good back on. Wham back off again. WHAT? Think. OK I know I've got to unplug some of those blame high powered blowers. It's drawing too much electricity. Right? Yeah ---this Senior knows a thing or two. Try it out, trip the breakers again and GOOD, lights are on and the remaining 12 blowers are working. Yeah, I learned all about that when I was in my 30's. Who says us Seniors forget???
Go upstairs and turn on the big house air conditioner. WHAMMO NO LIGHTS ANYWHERE. I mean not just some breakers but everything. Wow, the Spouse is really STEAMING. I'm glad it's dark. She at least can't find me. OK got to think. What is it?? Got to think like they taught me in Military School back in the 50's.
YEAH It has got to be the MAIN ELECTRIC COMPANY BREAKER OUTSIDE the house. Right oh for sure. Ok first cut the air conditioner upstairs off. It was drawing too much power with all these other high power blowers going. THE SPOUSE IS STILL YELLING saying what in the blank blank blank am I going up and down the steps for, get some blame lights on. A great thinker has to learn to work under distractions, so I'm up for the task. Us Seniors know how to do it, right??
Now still got flash light, going outside to the power company box. Open up the box from the bottom side like I had seen it done. OK where is the blankety BREAKER?? Oh yeah that must be it. It's larger than I had expected. All right, now turnnnn it off all the wayyyy off just like I had seen that done also. And, now turn it on again, right? RIGHT! LIGHTS ALL ON. Us Seniors have won again.
Ok so back to the sleeping. We had lots of blowing air but no air conditioner. It sounded like a factory as I said, but you know what? I slept six straight hours. That's good for us Seniors Right?
More next time
