Re: Your Favorite Install Tool?

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Welp yah know...you NEVER know where some dumb electrician has run a wire! I
found that out years ago...I was drilling UP above a door header to replace
a door switch on a  house. Top of the door was less than a foot below the
ceiling (old house). ZAP. Of course no one told me the door had actually
been a window at one time so I guess the 110 vac had been re-routed from
under the window to OVER the door.

| A friend was having a cable outlet installed in his apartment for a
| cable-internet hookup.  The cable installer was drilling down through
| the floor and hit a 110 wire, and shorted it to something else metal,
| and started a fire.
|
| Fortunately, his apartment was right across the street from the fire
| hall.. :)
