dont try this

was working on a ceiling fan today. Had the bright idea of having my kids help. Had them stay in the room and let me know when the light went out while I flipped breakers to shut off the power. after two breakers they said the light was out. So here I go and take the fan apart and expose the wires. Needless to say the power was still on and now my fingernails are black. They thought they would help and turn the light off at the switch. : )
