man, alot of your posts have been more active now, i mean usually you would give out advice with pure dull words (no offence), but you've changed charlie! let's just hope it's for the better.

Charlie! if your kids are gonna get electricuted let them be, then the next time they will know better. People learn from pain

Ofcourse then again, 115volts never seems to teach me, but maybe 230volts is a better teacher? hehe

True, but it still hurts like hell!! Been bit by a few ballasts in overhead flourescent lites. Makes your arm numb for a few minutes.......

Never trusted 240v lines...damn 120v on both terminals.....what kinda asshole put that into play? At least with a 120v line you have a 50/50 chance of not lighting yourself up like a Christmas tree!.....hehehe

i prefer 240 myself over the constant 120 240 kicks you off 120 you need to be kicked off lol depends on the protection.

Hmmm. Just that I wouldn't have offered the advice you did without the warning.

Maybe that's because I'm a Dad! (and have raised a few sons your and Foo's age!). And rescued them from 240v. A couple of times. Each. Ouch.

110v at 60hz hurts more, you can just take my word for that.........
much more, in fact. Half the voltage means twice the amperage.
and you tend to stick to it.
DO NOT PEE ON THE ELECTRIC FENCE!
