Electrical Ghosts

[Arnie Guida]

Our 4 family is haunted.

Every time we change tenants and that unit sits vacant for any amount of time, the bathroom, kitchen and bedrooms lose electricity, only the living room has power. It's 60 amp service with screw in fuses. Down in the basement I go, armed with bee randy new fuses, I pull the mains, move the cigar fuses a little to break any corrosion, screw in the bee randy new fuses, and voila, problem solved.

What kills me is that the old fuses look and test fine.

This has happened damn near every time.

Had to do it again today.

Cue Rod Serling and the Twilight Zone music...

(Yes, we should change to 100 amp service and circuit breakers, we're too cheap...)
