This afternoon, while relaxing with Barb in the office after our chores were done, we heard a loud BOOM and the electric went out. This is not good. We can't use anything in the office/store. Barb called the electric company right away and they said there was a large fire in the area and that they were going to possibly shut our electric down anyway. They told her they would get someone out as soon as possible. With this news all I can think of is all the ice I bagged melting!
Of course the electric goes out on a day when its in the mid 90's. It sure didn't take long for the office to get hot. Since this happened in late afternoon and the over nighters were starting to arrive we just had the campers pick a space and told them to come back later when the electric came back on to register. Thank heaven this didn't happen earlier in the weekend when we were packed!
I had walked outside to get a breath of fresh air and realized that I had not taken a picture of the finished ramp to the front door. Remember when Bob was working on this?
A side view....
It took about three hours before the electric came back on and was I ever thankful that the AC was working again!
Bob had turned everything off in our rig with one exception. The TV in the living room wasn't unplugged and when the electric came back it wasn't working. Oh no, did it fry with the electrical surge? We tried everything including calling Direct TV Customer Support. They talked us through different things to try to no avail. We made an appointment for them to come out but they couldn't get to us until Tuesday and we picked the earliest appointment available,,,,,between six and eight in the morning! We're hoping its closer to eight.
We watched movies on the VCR/DVD player since we didn't have regular TV in the living room.
It didn't take long for our house to cool down again once the electric returned so at least we had a good nights sleep.
