I had to run some pex through an attic space to relocated a water heater. It was really close to were the main electrical panel was. I was laying on the wires to the entire home in the attic, the attic floor was covered in them.
Wires everywhere. I tell custy that I need to turn power off. He doesn’t like it. I say “ we’ll either I turn the power off or I can’t do the work “
He agrees but is kinda acting weird about it……
So we kill the main breakers and THE BACKUP GEN set starts to run…..
I say, “we have to turn the GEN off….”
He says “ I lost the Keys to the box “.
I bring out bolt cutters and he goes nuts……
So I reach over to the gas valve and turned his gas off. 🤣
Yes, I added $200 to his bill for being inconsiderate of Terry safety. Wrong or right, I did it and I won’t apologize for it.
I had a friend killed plumbing under a house by a naked wire. It’s no joke.
