I have and electrician coming next week who says he will check things out and first of all ground the breaker panel to two ground rods 7 feet apart. I thought the grounding was put at the meter but he says they don't do that anymore. I think the old meter, before we had the new one put in had a ground rod beneath it but nothing now. The only ground I could find to the panel is a skimpy wire going to a water line. All of which looks corroded etc.. I know many dollars were spent on renovation and restoration of this place but I'm afraid to much emphasis was placed on cosmetic and not enough on electrical as I look more closely, pretty depressing. Well, at least it will be safer. Can't thank the forum members enough.Regards,jim/k2hn _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
