Some things are easy to understand and explain. Im trying to determine why my husband does some of the things the way he does around the house. His most current endeavor involves low volt lighting transformer and the simple name of this thing brings to mind image of childrens cartoon shows and toys.
How to describe the function of this low voltage transformer was no simple take for my confused hubby. Its an even larger task for me to understand the concept. However, I have a good excuse for this confusion and sometimes a person can know a little too much about a topic to be able to explain it in simple terms. My hubby works with electrical supplies on a daily basis. He does not have the option to break down things into smaller tasks.
I thought I was doing him a favor when I requested a step-by-step analysis of how this low voltage contraption functions for our house. This offer was responded to with a blank and glazed expression that denoted to me a promise of the impending confusion that would unveil itself in the next few sentences.
He started into his view about avoiding the whole discussion in its entirety by stating that I could not possibly be interested in things like this. Low voltage lighting transformer talk is so involved and confusing, and he grew more heated and lively as the argument in his head ensued, he simply huffed his shoulders and stated, I do not talk about shop at home.
With some poking and prodding, or what one may call nagging, I finally persuaded him to try and explain some of his projects to me. He finally came up with the textbook definition of a low-voltage lighting ideas and landscape lighting transformer thingie, then he knew what it felt like to be on the end of a dazed and confused expression.
The next thing was to find some useful analogy of what would bring this topic home for me. He selected drills and he reminded me that Id bought him a 12 volt drill for his birthday last year and I reminded him that we had returned that one in exchange for an 18 volt instead. He compared the regular drill with an 18 volt and then low volt lighting to its 12 volt cousin.
I was very confused and he was growing more annoyed by then I asked him why he would want to replace a high volt system with a lower volt one, after all was the higher one not better. He shook his head and decided to take another avenue, he started this time saying Lets say you have two hair dryers. - 15266
