Doing a first fix on a kitchen replacement of existing wiring, straight forward but I became complement. Chiseling out the run for a double socket that is fed from above to lower it by 125mm. Did I check that it has a spur going from it downwards to a spur socket to a single socket to the living room? No I didn't. Did I isolate the circuit that I was working near so I could continue listening to the radio? No I didn't. Did I hit the 2.5mm spur cable square on that made me jump out of my skin? Yes I did. A very, very stupid mistake that could have killed me or at least threw me across the room but it didn't and I feel very lucky that it didn't take a bite out of me today. Just a warning lads, don't do a daft mistake like I did today and play it safe. My dad always told me "learn from other peoples mistakes so you don't have to learn from your own". Don't make the same f#$* up me and keep yourselves safe gentleman.
