On Dry Ground


When it comes to electricity, dry is good and wet is bad (unless you’re the U.S. Army trying to electrocute some prehistoric swamp creature in a cheesy, 1950s monster movie). Never stand in a puddle or on damp ground when working on your electrical
system. Always find a dry piece of wood or another insulating material to stand on
while working. If you must work during wet weather, wear thick-soled rubber boots.
Better yet, wait for a dry day (always an iffy situation here in the Northwest, unfortunately).
