Strange Things Never Cease To Amaze Me...

Tonight after we got home from a trip into town, we brought the kids into the house, turned on the living room light, then went back out to the truck to get the groceries. When we came back in, we flipped on the kitchen lights, and BAM! all the lights dimmed to almost nothing. The candles I lit, were brighter than the lights! We looked outside, and sure enough, our neighbor's lights were on and very bright compared to ours! Now what do we do? We finally asked our neighbors if they had any ideas. After talking with our landlord, our neighbor pushed the button on the electric gate to our property, and BAM! the electric came back on!!! Whatever the problem was, we're glad to have electric again! I was starting to get concerned about the food items in the fridge...

Now hopefully tomorrow morning, when someone needs to leave and pushes the button for the electric gate, it doesn't happen all over again!

Like I said, strange things never cease to amaze me...I'm not an electrician, but why the electric gate and only our house would be connected together... STRANGE!!
