I track vocals in the lounge and I set up about 2m from the fridge which is in a nook, so I'd roll the fridge out onto the wooden floor and switch it off at the wall behind it. It marked the floor a bit but I was always going to get the floor redone so I didn't bother too much about the damage.
But now I have redone the floor and got a new fridge that's not on wheels I have a problem. How to get to the switch at the back without damaging the floor by dragging it out... obvious thing to do is just cut the whole circuit off completely at the board but then I was thinking, I'll bet the studio, just around the corner, is on the same power circuit, which, given the general layout of the place, would be logical - and I'd never really looked at the circuit board so I figured there were probably only a couple of power circuits in the entire apartment.
But, as it turns out, there are 4 separate power circuits, a light circuit and an oven circuit, so the fridge is on a separate circuit ... and everything else in the main area appears to be on the same circuit, but the studio isn't, so looks like I'll be taking advantage of the relative peace and quiet and tracking some backing vocals this evening.
Just will have to remember to turn the fridge back on later....
