Well, we are back in the sand.
Came back to extreme heat and humidity, the irrigation pump, my glorious forced air clothes dryer and washing machine are all 'out'. The electrical circuit that they are all on is not functioning. I cut the electricity to all three and tried to reset the breaker. The breaker won't reset.
While we were gone, the landlord's 'fix' was to have a gardener (not an electrician) come out and cobble together a bunch of wires (of different gauges) using electrical tape. This 'newly minted' set of wires was sent run from our irrigation pump to the junction/breaker box (picture about 45 feet/14m) of wire running into other wires coming out of the bottom of the breaker panel. Really creepy. At least the grass wasn't dead but about half of my flowers were.
And....naturally, the husband is away on business.
So, I've called a local 'fix' company that came recommended by two people. We'll see how it goes. I'm not holding my breath.
In the meantime, my garden is dying and Munchkin #2 has offered to help me do the laundry in the bath tub. The cobbled together wire was just too creepy/scary to leave in place.
Welcome back!
Peace.
