Exclamation Very Important!

OK, this might provide a clue. Our neighbors almost had a fire, but they smelled that electrical burning smell in the garage and got it out just in time.

The builder's had put in the wrong volt to charge their golf cart!!!! This is important for all of you to check this. It seems on walk-through, they were told, like we were too, that this is the outlet to charge your golf cart. I think the voltage is 220??? I could be wrong on these numbers, and ours is correct. But our neighbor was using the correct outlet, but it was only wired as a 110!

Please, people, and new buyers especially, have your golf cart and all outlets double checked. We are in an electric village also. I sincerely think that's what happened in St. Charles. It sounds like it, if it started in the garage.
