OKaaaaaaa. When in doubt, turn off the "main" breaker. Do the work. Turn the main breaker back ON then go around the house looking for and smelling for smoke. If you don't find any smoke, reset all the clocks in the house.

If you see/smell smoke, you will know where you fucked up -

You don't. That's why you test.

Given that the second electrocution occurred after the test, I recommend revisiting your test procedure.

Ban hammer office is slowly, but surely coming along... taking care of baby plus move to the new house sure take longer time to do a lot of things.

Extra points for member who can find & name all 3 figures & 1 plush doll in the photo lmao

That's not a good sign at all... Though if it's just lights no outlets I guess maybe ok, depending on house layout.

This mistake is even more fun after you were the one to wire your entire house, know what circuit every switch and receptacle are on, then casually electrocute yourself by not turning off both breakers when you go to install the dimmers the SO has decided they want.
