Well we had another huge surge this weekend. Luckily, I unplugged the computers right before the big one hit. It fried the cable box. I have never seen so much smoke come out of plastic. Two TV's down, none left to go.
We hired an electrician to make an emergency house call Saturday. He put some kind of surge protector on the outside of the house so if anything weird starts to happen, the breaker will blow and cut power to the house. He said that somehow a 220 volt current came through the outlet to fry the interior surge protector, TV, cable box, DVD, and VHS. He is still not sure what is causing all this. I think we will have to hire him to do a full day investigation.
In the meantime, we bought some heavy duty battery back-up surge protectors for the computers. They weren't cheap, but hopefully they will do a better job than the surge protectors we had.
Well here's what I managed to get done this weekend. I still need to animate the dog to turn his head toward the caveman.
