I still haven't learned a dam thing. Finished up the wiring and still to lazy to go to the box and kill the circuit. But this time I didn't get a buzz to reinforce the lesson.

Uh - duh! _____ From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of RJ Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2008 8:00 PM To: handyman Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Learned a lesson today Today I was installing a outside light for my neighbors, along with a little plasterboard work and other repairs. As I was installing the plasterboard and hanging the plasterboard, I was doing a little electrical work. I had a wire going off a receptacle for the switch for the outside light. I reached under the insulation, to retrieve the wire to place inside the switch box. Much to my surprise, the wire came flying out and I didn't bother turning off the juice, seeing I was using plastic boxes. Well the end of the wire hit me with the ends and did I get a shock in the left eye. Sure was glad it was a 110 instead of 220. Now that is a shocking experience to learn to turn off the juice, no matter what type of boxes you are using. Especially if you are as blind as I.
