Default My wife is insane
It has been said that doing the same thing over and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity.

In my kitchen, the refrigerator and counter outlets are on a single circuit. It never fails that she runs the microwave and toaster oven at the same time and the breaker trips. I don't know how many times I have told her to NOT do that but, as I said, she's insane.

Switch the outlet for a Euro one and switch the cord on the appliance so it will only fit THAT outlet.

I'm not bidding, 'cause I'd hate to pay the air conditioning bill on something that big.

It's 6,100 sqft, I was going to subdivide and rent to 6 families and let them provide their own window units.
