Work sent me down because of a little rain storm.... we had some store networks go down along with a few electrical problems. The big excitement was getting thrown from a ladder when we had a power surge and I received an electrical poke.... all is well, just some minor burns..... what have I missed?

The Electrician left some open wires in the ceiling and I caught them on the pack of my neck. The burns look nasty and it bothers me to sleep, but like I said.... all is well.

I agree. I would have seen the wirenuts, but wire was hard to see. I'm just glad it wasn't 480. Though the bigger wire would have stuck out better.

True... 120 is no big deal, been poked many times. The surge is what hurt.... it smoked the breaker and welded it in the on position.
