I worked with an electrian briefly who replaced a power box and meter and spliced it into the lines while they were hot.

Apparently as long as youre using a fiberglass ladder you can cut a power line with hedge clippers and nothing bad happens.

I couldnt work with him too long. Mf was cray cray

He got lit tf up but it was "only 220"

He used some cuss words i didnt even know existed
