[RFI] Pure water is an insulator

[KD7JYK DM09]

"IOW, you were borrowing the neutral of a neighbor - someone else who was on
the same pole transformer. How did you find the missing neutral problem?"

Numerous issues over the years led to it.  No grounds at all in the system, 
I found them, they were loops of wire around, but not in contact with 
multiple ground rods at several poles, open neutral from the house to the 
poles, so no sharing through the transformer to another parcel, GFI outlets 
that didn't work right, one leg of 220 for the well tied to the case, which 
I discovered by sitting on it and getting a good zap in the butt while 
programming irrigation timers, and measuring ~120 VAC from the water coming 
out of
the facuet in the kitchen to a ground screw on a power outlet.  Now to 
resolve issues like 125' runs of 12/2 feeding an attached three-car garage 
through an attic.
