That ain't right. It's a good thing you will be upgrading it.

OHMG - don't touch it while it's still hot.

What's that funny looking gound thing in the last photo?

You'd better get out and make up the neut or disconnect this service before they kill a plumber.

If a plumber cuts through the water pipe ahead of the GEC's connection, the plumber will become the new return path.

the service was changed the next day. It is scary what people will do to save time and money to do something that could have killed the plumber that was working at this house.

what's a gound?

Thot's e mosprant, I thomk.

It's something that a pilot tries to know as little about as possible.

In my past life I have only had 'firm" contact with the "ground" once in 30 years. Annnnnd I didn't kill a plumber doing it, just made some work for the airport electrician replacing some runway edge lighting. :-)

Dave,
Does that mean that gound is what you usually talk to on pint sven, once clear of the ative rnway?

Most runway and taxiway lighting (other than signage) operate by means of series wired current transformers at each light on ungrounded systems, hope you wore gloves....

Anyway, sounds like this place faired well, it's still standing...

I hate when I run out of airspeed, altitude and ideas all at the same time.

Yep THAT ground except where I was it's on pint niner when clear.

When I "firmly" contacted the ground (read: supporting surface) at least I kept flying it till the last bit stopped moveing. Then I ran like HEdouble hockey sticks away as fast as I could. :-)

What is wrong with you guy's, "black to black, white to white, ground not needed". It work's don't it?!

Landing lights are a great boon. They help to stop you falling down the stairs in the dark.
