Let us know when and where you plan to do this. I'd like to watch. . .
from a safe distance.

Not to mention, the Model 2000 is very affordable--only $6400. Of course,
one will need to figure in the about a $1000 fine and a year or so of
vacation time at their favorite prison.

And if one does it in their bare feet....

one ends up doing an excellent impression of Gregory Hines.

Until this I'd missed the news that he'd taken the long dirt nap.
Bummer. Great talent.

Was installing a new ceiling light fixture last night. Didn't bother to
turn off the power at the breaker, just left the wall switch in the "off"
position. My apprentice (seven year old) was helping. I'm pulling the wire
through the slots in the back of the new box, so I had to take the wire nuts
off the bare ends. As I'm tugging on the wires, I hear "Pop, what happens
if I flip this switch...?"

Note to self. Complete instructions to apprentice before beginning work.

Bill

(and, no, she didn't ask the question *after* flipping the switch, but
before. Nonetheless, I let go of those wires faster than a hot potato.)

Sounds like you almost *were* a hot potato. Electricity scares the
hell out of me, probably because a friend of mine died in swiming pool /
electricity accident when I was a kid. As inconvenient as it is, I
always turn off the power at the breaker myself, and turn it back on
myself - no apprentice involement.

A couple of friends of mine, a pair of brothers, and both journeymen
electricians, tell me that they rarely turn off the power when working on
household circuits. "It's just 110," they say, "it can't hurt ya."


Wolfgang
evidently, 220 is another matter entirely.

As a career electrician, I generally switch off any power to devises that I
am working on. However, it isn't always possible or practical to do so. I
work with 120, 220, and 277 volts daily, and work them hot. It really
depends on the equipment that one is working on. I certainly don't like
working in a *hot* 480 volt, 3 phases switch gear, but I have in the past
and am likely to have to in the future.

120 volts make ya tingle, 277 volts make ya shake, rattle and roll, and 480
volts will fry ya crispy critter like! So I stay away from voltages above
480 volts.

volts--
