Amen, and great story. My Great Grandparents, (my moms grandparents) were born in the late 1890's and they went through the depression with a small farm and my great grandfather worked anywhere he could, Repairing tires, in a autoplant in Detroit (plant was coverted to make planes during WW2) Great grandmother worked at the Dodge truck plant in Warren Mich. for 30+ years and retired in 1959. They taught me the value of a dollar....and how, my Grandmother was cheap, I look back now and say no......Frugal and wise after what they went through. She died in 1992 at the age of 93, Great Grandfather died in 1974 when I was 5. (I still remember him, a little.) And people spend $4 on a Starbucks coffee and Women spend lots of good money to get their hair cut. People in this country dont know what tough is, Cable TV is optional, so is a cell phone and Air conditioning, a new car and all new clothes, what ever happened to handme downs? I would hate to see a real depression in this country in our day and age. Can you imagine kids in this country cutting wood to stay warm in the winter, that may happen in some areas now but probably not much.

We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
