What?
Left it go???????????????????????????????????
It was early, and no one was online to tell me to go ahead and drown it. Like I said, it's painful to drown. I want the first time to be a raccoon.
I considered letting it die in the heat too.
It is too bad I don't still own swords.
Exactly! We are helpers!
Love this thread full of helpers!
I too had been zapped many times. Old push button light switchespecially and the outlets you use in halfway then turn, yeah such fond childhood memories. No wonder I didn't want to go for Electrician Apprentice.
#5 has hatched!!
Remember the keys on peanut & coffee cans, where you opened the can by peeling off a strip of metal with the key, & the metal formed a little curlyque around the key? I stuck one into a live socket when I was a toddler.
Not good.
When I became an electrician, my goal was to never feel the voltage. That didn't last long.
I was working in the electronics lab repairing weld timers. There was a loose wire in a firing panel I was holding and got hit with 480 VAC. The only thing that saved me was I was holding it with both hands when the bare wire touched the metal housing. Otherwise it may have stopped my heart when the current passed across my body but the potential was the same in both hands.
My fingertips were scorched and I felt very strange for days.
After that, 120 is very mild.
I've worked with everything from millivolts to 40,000 volts DC and 33 kV AC.
He never told me to keep the power off when putting the outlet back together.
Duh!
You should have done it.
Going onto the apprenticeship waiting list, we had to pick 3 trades as our first choices. Mine were Electrician, Pipefitter and Stationary Steam Engineer.
All trades are good but electricity is such a big field, no one can know it all.
I couldn't have picked any trade but Toolmaker without fear of being disowned by my 74 yr old Toolmaker Dad. I will be 4th generation machinist once I graduate. I grew up thinking the smell of cutting oil is a normal thing.
Weren't they on spam and sardine cans too?
yayyy babies! Many helpful helpers lol
scary, I grew up in a very old house, many outlet and switches had no covers, my worst was trying to turn on a light switch, and missing the switch and sticking my fingers behind the switch, and getting stuck there
