Some Things You Run Into
I just did some repair on a home. The woman said she was getting a shock when touching the stove and sink. I thought adding a ground would help. Until I pulled the stove out. Some jacka@@ replace the connecting lug on one hot with a drywall screw that went right through the block and touched the cabinet of the stove. I was very surprised this woman was still around.
After seeing this and reading about the explosion post I can understand why us Handymen get bad reps. |
