Lights Out

In between some small stupid home improvement stuff this weekend I decided to change out some old light switches and electric outlets. I've done this before with no problems, and was really just filling time while waiting for some paint to dry.

The trouble started when one of the new switches wouldn't turn a light on/off anymore. The light still worked, but the switch doesn't do anything. Undaunted, I moved on and changed out some other stuff.

Now, two days later, that first switch still doesn't work switch, a second new switch randomly turns off two other outlets, and I've got a new blister from shocking the shit out of myself.

I'm giving it one more try before calling in the professionals.
