I could use some prayer today as I will be doing some electrical work. I don’t like to do it, but I had a switch go bad. So later this morning I’m gonna cut the power and fix it. I hope. Thanks.
Aj, just be sure the right circuit breaker switch is off.
I have a 60w light with two bare wires I use to test every circuit before I touch any bare wires.
And wear rubber sole shoes to be double safe.
Electricity always wants to go to “ground”. You don’t want to be in the circuit.
Thanks for the advice Chas. I have a tester too, but I can’t get it to work. It won’t work at the switch I’m replacing, and I can’t get it too anywhere else either. I think I know what breaker it is, but just to be safe I have decided to shut off the main breaker and shut the whole house down until I’m done, just to be sure. It should only take 10-15 minutes to swap them out. I hope. 🙂
Well I replaced the switches. And it’s still not working. Everything else on the circuit works except for the lights. Maybe it’s a broken wire. Guess it’s time to call in a professional. 😦

AJ, that is shocking. (is it bad form to post bad jokes on the “Prayer” thread?)

No it’s not. 🙂
And shocking isn’t something I want to experience today, for obvious reasons.
I’m hoping there is nothing shocking at all today. 🙂

AJ can borrow my a pair of my beloved converse sneakers, though they’d probably be too small. 🙂 Be careful!
