my latest grrrrrrrrr

Had the portable heater on in bathroom and then turned on microwave. Overloaded the circuits so I lost power to the one outlet that worked in the bathroom and two outlets in the kitchen and microwave. Son's room has had no power for several years so he was powering computer/fan/small light in his room on extension cord to one of the kitchen outlets that died.

Turned microwave and heater off but when I flipped the breaker on it kept flipping off again so I am thinking perhaps there was a surge that fried some wire or something.

I have no extra money for an electrician but we are to the point I pretty much have to hire one as I have no insurance on the house and it isn't getting better by itself. I'll try to sell a few more model horses and see what happens.

Bummer.
