I was just outside to check the other fuse boxes we have (one in the main house and one in the barn – plus I think there is another one I’ve forgotten somewhere) and Robert was telling me that he thinks that it is likely a fuse in the controller box for the gate. When you hit the button to open the gate, nothing happens at all and resetting the fuse box also does nothing at all although the box does make some noise like it’s trying to do something. Hopefully this means that we will not need to replace the entire gate motor but just a fuse or perhaps the controller box. These are still things we don’t know much about but it’s our house so we should learn, right? Especially when the solutions are simple and would cost a fortune to have a professional come out to fix.
I was also just upstairs checking progress on the bathroom and the grout is in now. So after that it’s just installing the toilet and the shower walls and then they should be finished. Woohoo. Hopefully he doesn’t plan on just taking off though since there are still some other little projects left which he hasn’t finished yet like laying the tile border in the old bathroom, moving the water connection pipe for the dishwasher so we can finally get our granite counter top ordered, repainting the walls of the old bathroom where the heater exploded and sent brown water all over the place, having the heater repairman finally come out and eventually closing up the rest of the holes in our walls outside.
