Electrocuted!!!!
8 Answers
Kia Ora, all. :) Minus 11 degrees & foggy.
A chap came round to fix the underfloor insulation under my house. Silver coloured sort of stuff - some of it had come away.
Well there he was staple gunning away & I heard a very loud, "FCUKKKKKKK!"
The chap said he was able to kick himself away & crawl out from under & yelled at me to turn the electricity off at the mains. Said there was blue flame & everything. Got an electrician round who did his thing & deemed it safe.
But he didn't know what caused it. The staple gun chap didn't staple into a wire he said, but will be looking into what happened.
The poor electrocuted bloke was mostly ok, just had a dead arm, sore jaw & painful ear.
And to think, cats & wekas & hedgehogs, etc live & play under the house; they could have been zapped!
