Fewff, that's like my worst nightmare; cutting through HV live wires and not knowing it. But cutting through HV high current wires that arn't protected by a CB or fuse is even worse.

I didnt know what breaker it was on so i cut off the entire building. I then took my new linemans pliers and grabbed two wires and attemped to cut them but instead I got a bunch of sparks and my pliers were welded onto the metal box
So if you turned off power to the whole building, how come the wires you cut into were still energized? Sounds like a bit of a mix up in the wireing to me...

That place is such a mess....its got like three electrical systems.....you can have everything off and still get 20V or 10 depending where your at....its really eerie when the power goes off from lightning the lights still kinda glow ( i think half the building is on one grid and the other half on another)

G'day Johnny. Nah, never lived in Melbourne, but i have visited for 2 weeks or so. I wouldn't mind living down there, it is way too hot up here. I know the heat might be nice for you Southerners, but it gets real old, real fast up here. I would put up some pics, but i'm a noob and i don't know how......

All you need to do is experiment, that's how I found out how to do it.
1. Make an account with www.thefilebucket.com
2. Upload files.
3. Goto this screen http://www.thefilebucket.com/userfiles/wasssup1990/1.PNG just make sure you have the image maximized to it's full size or else pixles will be cut out and you won't be able to read anything.
4. Look at my screen on the picture link above and study what I have done.
5. You can always go back and edit your post if you've made a mistake.
If this doesn't help goto the FAQ on the top right corner of this page.
Good luck pal.

Bad news, Johnny. Filebucket wont let me register. I've sent them an email requesting help, but who knows how long that will take.

Everytime I click on the hyperlink in the email, it says that it does not have my username in the database, even though i can log on using it. Why does this always happen to me? Hey Aaron, rock on Rammestein!

Wouldn't have a clue. If I was sitting in front of your computer, I would figure it out as always. Try begging Aaron for help, he's good with computers. Oops, sorry Aaron.
