March 2025 Island Trip – Day 10

Our friend, who sharpens our knives, and also lives in a trailer, helped me figure out the 12-volt issue that was keeping us from replacing the propane detector. It was a fuse. An in-line fuse under the couch. Evidently when I took scissors to the old propane detector’s wires, at 3AM, while it was loudly telling us it was at the end of its life span, over New Year’s, I shorted out the fuse by cutting the wires simultaneously. I bought a new fuse, followed protocol, and we are again protected from nefarious propane leaks. My DH was 200% participatory in this project. He dealt with the mystery of no power to the wiring to where this unit is attached, trouble shot… but I just happened to finish the wiring with our friend’s help. My DH got the devise attached to the wall. Team work!

The painter was here again today. He’s edging everything. This takes time. I am eager for him to start rolling the paint out!

I took care of a lot a business today. Appliance contractor, my CPA, reviewing the lease…
