Turn that OFF!

See this box...it sure can make a lot of noise if it wants to....

Last night before I went to bed...and Mark was not home the transformer that was downstairs was making a very obnoxious sound...so I unplugged it...I thought cool...problem solved...

So at 7:15am this morning...with no school I told the kids they could sleep in....the thing in the picture went blisitic....BLARING and LIGHTS FLASHING...with ear piercing sirens going off...you could not hear a person talk...so Marissa held a pillow to the thing to muffle it...

And I was on the phone trying to get some help to shut the thing off.

I went back downstairs to plug the transformer in and it stopped for a while...then it came back on ...right now it is quiet. We will see for how long. I have some people coming to dismantle the dumb thing. It was here when we bought the house.

Fun at the Stangl house on an early Friday morning...
