When we owned our home back in Columbus, we had a older gentleman named Burly update the ancient knob and tube (hehe) wiring throughout the house. I happened to see him changing outlets and replacing fixtures without first turning off the electricity. Of course, I asked him why. Turns out it’s quicker, go figure. Then, I asked him how. And no, he didn’t wear one of those suits, he just kept the wires from touching.

Sounded easy enough, so I tried it once. Yep, once. And then never again.

This video makes my palms sweat.
