i love electricity and what it allows us to do!
i've been without it for a few days from bad weather.
we need to have a "pull the plug" weekend as a test, but i sure like the conveniences!!
have you done it? what did you really miss first?
i know a couple of you guys have solar set ups and are sitting there grinning and chuckling at
this post.. losing electricity isn't a threat for you!
here's what i think we should do as a test.
go to the breaker box and flip everything off, except for the freezer and refrigerator. agree with the wife that we won't open the door to either, putting a piece of duct tape over the door, as a reminder.... shutting off the ice source!!
i'm guessing we would first miss
no computer, no air conditioning, no ceiling fans.
the hot shower.
i'd head outside to work, come back in pretty grungy. we have city water, so i'd have water in the shower, but wouldn't be hot!
oh yeah... city water gets in the tank from a well...
if you've tried this, tell us what you missed.
and/or how you solved it.
if you haven't tried it, tell us what you think you'd miss, and how you would solve the
situation.
