    I swear I heard it when I saw the picture. I’m not an electrician, but that’s why I always call electricians instead of doing it myself.

      As an amateur house renovator (my own, not to flip), I’ve done that pop once or twice. It’s why we don’t buy the cheapest equipment, so the insulation actually protects us. € 20 is a cheap price for not going to the hospital for a mistake.

        If this has happened more than once i want to suggest you get a non contact voltage sensor, or start using a voltage tester before digging in lol.
