Today my wife wanted me to switch two outlets, a USB outlet, and a normal one. Both on the same circuit/same amperage.

This is not a tutorial to tell you how to do that!

If you aren't already confident doing this, that is a very real sign that you absolutely in no way should be touching electrical GOT IT??? GOOD!!

This is for those of you that will do it anyway, and I want to make sure you don't die

Turn off the power to the circuit(s) you are working on

Make SURE they are actually turned off!!!

"How do I do that @saywha ??"

Get a volt meter nerd!

-Put your meter on VAC (Volts A/C) and do this....

What does the meter say? 0? 120? 240? .... IF IT SAYS ANYTHING BUT ZERO, YOU GOT THE WRONG CIRCUIT BUB

See that 119.9??? That means you gonna get toast if you mess with it... try again dude. See that red light of doom that lights up? That red is the same color of the electrical burns you will receive if you mess with it

OK. You retested and it says zero now right?

good

blah blah blah, take the stuff off, I told you I am not telling you how to do this. blah blah blah, read instructions you idiot blah blah blah take pictures so you know where stuff is supposed to go and so your insurance company can deny your claim when you burn your house down

remember all I did was move one outlet to another on the same circuit, they were pre-existing. I did NOT replace it with a new one, I did NOT add a junction box, you know why? I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THOSE THINGS. IF YOU DON'T EITHER YOU SHOULDN'T DO IT

Remember kids. Stay safe. Don't be a moron
