Title: We've been having... electrical problems lately.
Post by: The Seventh on April 15, 2009, 05:22:21 PM
Okay, here's the lowdown.  Recently, lights have been either:

1. Begin flickering at random.
2. Brightening when the microwave turns on (odd...)
3. Dimming when the microwave turns on.
4. Randomly dimming and brightening.

Wierd thing is, only the lights have been affected.  We had electricians come today, and it seems to have been fixed... so far.

And the wierdness happened when we went really careful on how much electricity we used.

Sounds like your breaker box is acting funny.
Ours went nuts and nearly made our microwave burst into flames.

That's just the effect of your family. Clearly this boy's house is haunted.

That's weird. It's kind of like what was going on outside last night. Our street lights were flickering, then they went off in sequence coming towards me....and turned back on in the opposite order. This went on for an hour or so D:

You probably tried to conserve electricity by unplugging things when you didn't need them...

One time it could have sparked and damaged a wire or something to that effect.

Huh?  We don't do that.

We just shut the stuff off.

So far, it seems the electricians seemed to have fixed it.
