Does Home Depot have an 8' bucket????

It just doesn't get any better then that!

I don't suppose his cords had soap bottles on them, by any chance?

Should've used a metal bucket.....

OMG, that is hysterical!!
It looks like they might be using those chintzy 16-gauge orange extension cords you find at the hardware store, but at least they appear to be plugged into a spider off to the side.

Cant get the rod to the earth? Bring the earth to the rod. Makes perfect sense to me, as long as I dont have to work around it!!

Let's hope the Work's Cat doesn't find it.

What! It looks OK to me boss!

Greg,

From the looks of it, it would have been better to just bond it to all that metal around the generator. I am sure that metal might go back to building steel somewhere.

interesting!

well thats one word for it, laughable would be the other!

i wonder if was even tested before engergising, i would love to see the test readings.

but he did try tho didnt he?!?!?

This HAD to be a "set up" picture. Surely no one was that dumb:O Have to laugh at the effort though, if it is real...

It was certainly not a serious thing but it is he kind of thing that could happen if they had some kind of "rule" in place about grounding generators.

I think I can explain, read from post 5 onward... http://www.electriciantalk.com/f2/i-want-42333/
