Seriously, I don’t do anything with electricity anymore. I’ll gladly pay up to hire someone.
My most recent adventure involved my HVAC unit repeatedly blowing two 50 amp breakers on a subpanel.
Turns out cat hair somehow covered the coil an blew the breakers. I’ve presented the cat with the invoice. But no, I’m not getting near anything with that much juice.
I was finishing a tile backsplash. The last thing is using a sponge the size of a brick that has water in in it to wipe off the grout glaze .
I had recently put nice copper knobs on the cabinets.
The wires from the wall outlets were pulled out, and being an idiot I didn’t flip off the circuit breaker.
So I leaaned with the wet sponge and hit the wires with the sponge just as my head hit one of the copper knobs.
It felt like Zeus sent a lightning bolt up my ass and up out through my head.
Im a more cautious person now.
I think you win the thread. Glad you’re still with us. Electricity scares the crap out of me.
