me and elektriks

Ah, I see you met Electricity Rule #4: A switch doesn't remove the electricity, it just interrupts it for a little while. That's why one should always kill the circuit at the breaker (and still confirm it's dead with a meter or other reliable testing device) before diving into the wires.

Glad to see your buddy got it all figured out.
