The FIOS installation has a largeish inside the house component that he did first. The backup power supply and the electricity to run the box that converts from fiber to internet/phone/TV. My house wasn't all that well grounded at the time of installation. We took a spike in June that had me replace my oven, a circuit board in my dryer, a doorbell, three outlet strips and two of my two neighbors DVD players. We had relied on the incoming water line as the ground for the house. Now I have a big old grounding rod out front behind a bush. > > > ************************************************************************* > ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** > ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** > ************************************************************************* > -- John Duncan Yoyo -------------------------------o) ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
