Power Challenges

Last week we were had some electricity problems and then they were magnified when a storm came through one night.  We think there was a power surge of some sort as different things were fried and not working properly anymore.  Simon worked hard last week to sort out the problem.  So blessed to have a practical husband.  Our microwave seems to be still only be working at half power and our generator is being fixed as I write.  Below you will see some picture of other things that have seen better days.

This is our circuit breaker box which wasn't very happy.  Simon did a bit of rewiring in here to make it right again.

We needed to get a new stabiliser.  However, that went back to the shop today as it gave off a burning smell last night and we were getting shocks off of taps in the bathroom.
Our old one was boosting the power too high for some reason.  I put the light on in the bedroom and the bathroom and the bulbs both blew.  The lights in the kitchen we unnaturally bright.  It was kind of eerie.   New bulbs are in and the kitchen lights are back to normal....hallelujah.

We have two electricicty metres and this one shorted out and so had to have some TLC to make it work again.
