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
