/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1764719
Replacing the girlfriend is the better solution. If she chooses to freak the fuck out about something so trivial and you cave it will only get worse from here. She's going to cheat on you and then freak out at you if you call her on it like it's your fault she was cheating. You need to abort this relationship before you get yourself in any deeper.

Just put in a new outlet because old paint and fixtures are ivory and I just painted everything pure white. Yeah, I know I'm a faggot.

Pulled the old outlet and installed the new one. Blacks/whites opposite and same line top and bottom. Had a dumbass moment and broke the separate feed connector because I'm new to this and the instructions showed two wires with it broken off. Realized everything downstream was dead, so I went back to HD for a new outlet and to make a tribute to the fuckup gods. Installed this one correctly (fin intact) according to youtube. Go back to flip the main and POP a spark shoots out of the outlet. Breaker stays up with none switched. I cut the main and checknit out. Flip main again and nothing happens. Check the plugs and both work, check downstream and everything is on. I pull off the plate and theres a carbon stain on the plate but nothing else is affected. Pulled everything out and it all looks fine, no more carbon or melting.

Wtf just happened and what do I need to do?
