It's true a lot of people are not aware of the dangers or electricity.
I went out to add a circuit in a residence and when I got there the panel cover was missing. I asked the homeowner where it was and she said she thought it might be in a closet somewhere. I told her we need to find it and get it installed.
What for she asked. Is that to keep the dust out.
I told her no. That is needed to keep your kids from being killed. She had young children in the house.
