[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 62979, member: 6548"] Pulled meter this morning. The breaker on the pole was sort of janky so I bought a new breaker this morning trimmed up the cables nice and neat and made a very good connection to it. Left meter out and then went to the inside breaker panel. That is when I realized the breaker for my kitchen range and crap was slightly out of kilter so I pulled it off and checked for good connection and noticed that particular breaker had some melting action going on. Back to Ace hardware. Replaced with new breaker. I think this was the problem. I checked for good connections where the wires come into the house...check. Reinstalled the breaker and meter on the pole and turned her on. Came back into the house turned her on and then turned everything in the house on. It has been running thirty minutes and so far everything is good. Breaker panel is nice and cool. I am going to stick around today for a few hours and see what it does. It will be 100+ today so I guess I will find out. Thanks for all the kind comments about my well being...hahaha Rick you are right I am not really qualified to do this crap but I am poor! I tend to always fix crap around my house whether it be installing new run capacitors on the AC (snipped a live 220 with a pair of dikes that time talk about wake your @ss up fast...thank god the dikes were insulated), replacing control boards in various appliances, installing water heater elements, etc. I have a very healthy dose of caution bordering on fear when I am messing with the electrical stuff. Again thanks you all (I charge $60 bucks a hour plus mileage lol) Man my camera battery lasts forever! I have charged it like maybe three times since I got the thing and I have probably shot 5000+ pics maybe. [/QUOTE]
