Just an aside .. at my old place when I was re-doing one of my bathrooms, bathtub enclosure, I got tempted to rent a reciprocating saw to help tear out the old drywall around the tub. In the end, I didn't, just did it the old fashioned way. Once I got to the wall that, on the other side, was my stove (in the kitchen) ... there was a 220V line right up against the drywall. Had I rented that reciprocating saw I would have cut right through it.
I don't know why I bring this up, other than to suggest to expect the unexpected, and be stupidly careful when cutting out drywall. I would never have thought to cut the power at the breakers to my KITCHEN to work on my bathroom. I don't think it would have EVER occured to me. Mind you, I'm probably a lot dumber than most, so maybe this is obvious to everyone else ... but it was one case of luck-was-with-the-dumb that day.
