I knew exactly which circuit breaker it was! Then I loosed the plumbing and screws that held it in place.<BR/><BR/>With screwdriver in hand, I began to separate the wiring. First the hot wire, then the neutral, and then the ground wire. <BR/><BR/>In the process, the wire broke off on the hot wire leaving it blunt at the insulation --no problem! I pulled out my trusty pocket-knife and started to bare the wire.<BR/><BR/>Then --ZZZAAAPPPP!!!!<BR/><BR/>I convulsed, my arm violently snapped back and the pocket knife went flying straight up in the air.<BR/><BR/>I assumed the same position we were taught back in the 60's to prepare for nuclear holocaust.<BR/><BR/>The knife came flipping right down next to my ear and stuck in the floor next to me (just like the assistant standing in front of the bull’s-eye target at the circus).<BR/><BR/>After half of a roll of toilet paper, I decided to invest in a multi-tester. Got to love home improvements.charleydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14568536454377690745noreply@blogger.com
