I decided I'd be smart and plug in my TV that was broken (Cooper chewed the wire when we were moving in, it wasn't plugged in). Well I tried to tie together the wires and plug it in. there was a spark and the lights in my room and the bathroom next to me went out.... soo.... is this fixable? lol

nah you be screwed! Get out the house now and call a plumber!


...lol...

Unplug TV, go to your breaker box, find the tripped breaker and turn it off, then back on. Afterward, inspect your wires again to make extra certain that the two (sometimes three) wires are not in any way touching.

RICHIE!!!!


You probably blew a fuse or tripped a ciruit. Should be fixable, just go down to the fuse box in your basement and find the switch that goes to your room/bathroom and flip it back. Actually...have your dad do it. ;)

Yeah, I'll get one of my parents to do it, I know somehow I'm going to either damage the house more or severly hurt myself... I've been really clumsy and stupid lately

Lol that's awesome. Nothing duct tape won't fix.

Meaning you need to duct tape the breaker down next time so it can't be thrown :D
