I know how to open the damn panel, dude...AND I know enough about electrical stuff to know that I don't wanna go inside it...
The reason I couldn't take the time to answer in detail is that for the past week or two I've been heavily involved with a major home demo/renovation project, & was very busy watching the subs who were doing the heavy-duty work...hard workers, every one, but also hard-headed about doing things their way, & on more than one occasion I had to remind them who was paying for all this, & wouldn't be paying if he wasn't happy with the end product...
In the meantime, I see that most everything I could think to say has been well-said by others...the division of gender-based labor in our house has been a constantly shifting battleline for 3 decades now, & further complicated by the fact that our respective self-images started out kinda skewed, at least by common standards...as newlyweds, it was her that sat around the house in shorts & a tee watching TV sports (something I didn't really notice till our best friend pointed it out)...long time I have taken care of the grocery shopping, her job is write out a list & pull coupons...I carry the laundry downstairs, run the washer & dryer, & bring it back up while it's still warm for her to fold & hang...she's never been the fragile flower of womanhood in any case, being a prime example of the Strong-willed Southern Woman...as a young girl she tossed around #60 bales of hay, but she'll rebuke me if I forget to hold the door for her
I believe that each gender has its own tendancies & preferences for what is needed to know to get by, but I think of it as a tilted slope rather than being a wall that neither can cross...
& I've seen the proof that little boys have the "vrooom" gene at birth...they know, without anybody telling them, that you run the toy car across the furniture & go, "Vrrrroooooommmmm"....
