I was trimming the topiaries like a boss,
when pop! spark! I threw that thing down and did what any topiary artiste´ does when sparks fly and pops sound--I ran to get my husband. Upon his inspection we discovered the extension cord had been cut.
Praise the Lord we have GFIs. It was more than just a blown fuse. My insanely intelligent husband has been scouring the internet for how-to videos and interactions on how to fix something like this.
It's been 3 days. He's still working on it.
Oopsies.
