Things learned on a winter's day
My snowblower is electric. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
When the snowblower hits a chunk of ice, it can kick off.
This act of kicking-off will trip the circuit breaker.
Except.
The box in the garage is not a circuit breaker box, but a fuse box.
The garage door opener also works off this fuse.
I had not known this.
I did not have any fuses. This meant a trip to the hardware store. In the car. Which is inside the garage. Behind the door that won't open.
I learned how the manual pull on the garage door works. No, I had never had any reason to know this before, either.
I know it now.
