So i help put in dishwashers and stoves. well. today was different.

I never check power just open circuits. Today i let a coworker borrow my dmm.

As soon as i stuck the first probe in i had a bad feeling. then i grounded it and there was a huge spark of light. and my dmm literally blew up. needless to say he didnt have my probed on the right plugs. Almost killed me.

ill have pics of the wall socket in a few minutes. i had to take a break

well, glad it was just a close call...i came to the thread thinking you might have been a tourista in NYC or something, I heard there was a guy pulled a gun on a cop and the cops shot up like 6 or 7 folks trying to kill him.
