Holmes on Homes is AWESOME! Love that show, take all the knowledge from that for fixing that needs to be done to the house ( and it never ends with this one)

This house is 8 years old and the fan had a plastic mounting bracket that had become brittle and disintegrated. Neighbor is going to come back tomorrow and do that for us. I have been awake for 36 hours doing work for a global customer with XenApp servers in 4 data centers. I will gladly let him do that work while I continue to do billable work! :) Carl Webster Consultant and Citrix Technology Professional http://www.CarlWebster.com <http://www.carlwebster.com/> From: Don Kuhlman <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Friday (kinda) Funny Sounds like Nasa had a power glitch there Carl ;) I'd be kind of worried about the fan falling out of the ceiling though - maybe should check the others too just to make sure they're secure... Don K ________________________________ From: Webster <[email protected]> Subject: Friday (kinda) Funny Sitting in my home office working on XenApp servers on remote data centers and all of the sudden I lost all power to the house. Our local utility is implementing smart meters in our area so I thought maybe something went wrong and the neighborhood lost power. Nope, just us. Our next door neighborhood is an EE so we get him to come over a take a look. After a lot of looking it turns out the ceiling fan in our guest bedroom had fallen out of the ceiling, broke its electrical wires which tripped the master breaker and shut off power. I have 7 UPSes in my office and this was a real test and three of them failed. THe two backing up my main computer and its four monitors didn't last 10 minutes when they should have easily have lasted 180 minutes or more (APC BackUPS 1500). All three UPSes have been replaced and our neighbor fixed our wiring and I can get back to billable work. Thought y'all might enjoy a little laugh on my part. :) ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
