Guys,

Remember. It is an EMERGENCY!!!

The house it NOT on the grid.

The Main Breaker is set to OFF!!!!

We hope the main breaker is off. The house is not on the grid, but
likely some poor work crew is trying their best to get it back on and they
could face 120V where it should not be. It is for that very reason that the
power companies and local authorities require a professional system to
provide a fail safe system to prevent feedback into the grid. An excuse
like you have no right to tell me what to do with the wiring in my home or I
thought the main breaker was off, is not going to do much after an accident.
It is also foolish since how you wire you home is governed by the electric
code. You don't have the right to decide what to do with your own wiring.
