Until my mother told me it was my job to replace the fuses, I didn’t even know what they were, or how to change them.
She told me where the fuse box was as well as handed me a flashlight.
I asked why I had to change the fuse as well as she told me it was because I was now the person of the house, since my dad walked out. With dead fuses, my pal and I wouldn’t have lights, as well as the heating device wouldn’t work. The fuses keep the electricity on, just like a breaker does. If the fuse ends up blowing, the electricity use is interrupted. Air conditioning, heating devices as well as all the electric appliances need to have the fuses working if you wish for them to work. When our heating device quit working, as well as the water pump wouldn’t turn on, she was sure my pal and I had blown a fuse. I had to go downstairs as well as change the fuse. When I arrived downstairs, it was so dark, I could not see my hand in front of my own face. Without the flashlight, I would have been crying in fear. I found the fuse box, as well as pulled the new fuse out of the inside of the door. It was not especially easy to see which fuse was blown until I noticed a discoloration. I unfastened the ancient fuse as well as put the new one in. The lights turned on, as well as the hum of the heating device told me I had done my job. I was hoping I wouldn’t need to change the fuse again any time soon. I hated going without the heater device, although I hated walking around that creepy basement, with nothing but a flashlight to show me the way.
