The current traveled through the ground, into a gas dryer, jumped to the wiring, into the wall plug, into the washer, arc across and strike the water heater. The damage was<br /><br />New regulator for the propane tank - $10<br />Two new appliance cords - $15<br />New high heat cutoff switch for the dryer - $8<br />New circuit breaker - $10<br /><br />Those were the prices at the time and way below my deductible. I changed the parts, and everything worked fine afterward...it scared the crap out of my wife that was home at the time...that may explain some things.

We made it one night with every fan running we could muster. It was 88 in the house with 90% humidity outside. It was absolutely horrible and I don't wish that shit on my worst enemy. I seriously feel your pain. But, you'll be back in the game tomorrow! Yay!Stackz O Magzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02035201539129178043noreply@blogger.com
