You must be really bad with math

No I'm not bad with math...the 3 places I called about rewinding said when they rewind it they charge for all 140 amps because they don't just add wire winding on top of what's already on there...so there //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Yeah, it'll be ok. I mean if your lights are dimming then don't wait too long to do something about it. At least you won't be running the AC this time of year.
