Hello all,
When I bought my house a few years ago (built circa 1940), I found that the telephone and CATV were bonded to an outside water faucet. Naturally, when I moved in and installed my satellite system, I used the same faucet to ground it. A few days later as I was moving things into the basement, I noticed that there was a 2' length of PVC piping just inside the wall from the faucet. Apparently a pipe had busted in the past and someone simply replaced it with PVC. That's when I learned my lesson about using outdoor faucets for grounding.
