Chain link fence electrified

Someone’s trying to kill me! Electrified chain link fence.
Found out that a ground short in an outlet was touching metal inside the wall that arching off the metal siding. The chain link fencing was subsequently touching the metal siding causing everything to be electrified:
Thankfully there wasn’t a fire!

At least you dont have to worry about robbers?

[@forensicdeathconsultants]

I would say, No don’t touch the fence!” But, I don’t hurt business or natural selection…..

One of your poles have been drove thru a wire in the ground

It was actually a short in a bad receptacle that was arcing in the wall inside the laundry room and because the house had metal siding and the fence was touching the house, it caused electricity to run throughout the siding and throughout the fence. Thankfully, it didn’t cause a fire.

No that scared apparently

Underground wire

[@HarleyDavidsonMan]

It was a ground wire in my laundry room arching against metal and was causing the entire house to be electrified. The metal chain link fence was touching the aluminum siding causing even the fence to be electrified. Crazy. Thankfully it never caught fire.

Booby trap baby!!

I would probably call someone

[@HarleyDavidsonMan]

I called my brother but found the short inside the house which caused the entire house to be electrified. Could have ended very badly.

You ever figure out what it was?

[@HarleyDavidsonMan]

Yes, I had a short on a electrical outlet inside the house that caused the aluminum siding, which was touching the fence to electrify. The entire house was electrified. Crazy!

@@HarleyDavidsonMan lol not cool and crazy. I heard of the same thing on a ladies house. Her siding, outside water spigots, and all her inside plumbing was shocking her. Even her screen door to get in and out. Take care 👍

@@HarleyDavidsonMan damn, figured there was a short somewhere but you never know the extent of the issue… I used to live in a place where the stove and the stainless kitchen sink/counter would shock you sometimes. The place was built from ‘52-57 and it was hollow tile construction with galvanized pipe for plumbing and seriously, two wires in each wall box. Found that out when an ancient switch burst into flames lol! All the conduit in the two story walk up was prolly shorted lol good times I’m just happy my kitty never seemed to have gotten shocked. I stopped wearing belts and pants with metal buttons while in the kitchen and if I had to reset a breaker I did it with a 2x4
