Do you mean they wired it in parallel with the main breaker panel, so you couldn't disconnect it to work on it?
- protomyth 7y agoYep. We flipped off all the breakers and the damn washer & dryer were still hot. My memory was a bit off and the the water heater and maybe stove were also hot. We had to replace all of that. I was 10 at the time so I was working on other stuff while Dad and the uncles took care of it. Putting in a new structural support beam was also enlightening.
