Postponing the weekend report, I just spent 7 hours finding out more about the Elephant. Skip the next cut if you don't want to hear it.
Well, we got the dehumidifier, got the window units, and guess what?
We can't plug 'em in yet.
To make a long story short - whoever wired this house must have been on acid when they did it. There's a 3-prong plug here, a 2-prong there, and all the circuit breakers have been labeled by amperage - ranging from above 100-amp to 15-amp - but there are no labels to indicate WHICH circuit goes to what wall/room. And of course, NONE of the 3-prong plugs are anywhere near where the units are going to be. (And I refuse to just forget about it and sleep in the former garage.)
So I need to con my neighbor's brother-in-law and Kent into taking a look at the wiring and figure out what the hell goes to what.
However, I've discovered that my immediate neighbors are very nice. More later; I need to crash.
