No garage panel just a 4x4 box with three no. 8's hot return and green from rod at bottom of wall, and then about 5 mc's going to other plugs around the room, and just a 2 wire going to plug below and lights (Now protected). So as it was the bx and metal boxes were sitting with voltage on them and i guess the earth path back to the main or pole wasnt good enough to allow too much current, do you think its relatively safe for a few days till I can get back out there, I didnt read any other shorts but could not do a exaustive search at that time, thanks chris
