Hmmm it could be bad, if the breaker also powered the sump pump. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted October 22, 2020 Share #9 Posted October 22, 2020 I wonder what could be failing behind the walls that would take out a breaker. When I was staying at the Residence Inn in Orlando they were undergoing renovations. I woke up one night to the sound of a very slow drip drip drip. I told them about it the next day and they found a leaking pipe in the apartment above me. They had to cut out a piece of my drywall behind the refrigerator to get at parts of it. They offered me another room because the hole lasted for 3 days but it didn't bother me and it was too much trouble to move. The manager liked me because I was there for so long. She used to give me a newly renovated room every two weeks and I would provide a list of what wasn't there that should have been like the 1 quart pot or a full set of forks. After the renovations were done they gave me a choice of any of the rooms that I wanted. On the weekends that I went home they would use my room for a short term non smoking guest who was out of there when I returned on Monday. It was a fair trade.

Dottleshead ★ Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share #10 Posted October 22, 2020 We were running space heaters in two different rooms. When I reached down to unplug it, it was pretty hot. It's damn cold up here and her home heating blows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted October 22, 2020 Share #11 Posted October 22, 2020 Is it working ok to live there? Besides the lack of heating... ? YOu should help her put in a new furnace. Sounds like she needs it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
