Yesterday when i mowed the lawn, i went over some very long grass and the mower cut out. Took me ages to reset the circuit breaker. Hubby did tell me a week ago, but i forgot.
I may have mentioned this before. Back at the beginning of the year when it was really cold, an elderly widowed neighbour phoned my wife and asked her if she would send me over to take a look at her central heating which had gone off. She's always had this idea that I'm really good at "fixing things."
Anyway I went over and examined her central heating boiler, the make and model of which I'd never seen before.
So I applied my technical knowledge and fixed it.
I pressed the reset button. The boiler fired up immediately.
She had no idea where the button was, or that it actually existed as the boiler, only a few years old had never gone off before.
Actually, I had an idea it might have been that before I went over. Her semi shares a full length double car port with the semi next door. It's like a wind tunnel. That day there'd been some strong winds from the North. As the flu for her boiler exits into this area, I'd guessed the back pressure caused by the strong wind down the flu was enough to cause the boiler to shut down, the system thinking there was a blockage in the flue.
