Check for a bad splice.

Not a Henry vise. I am thinking Rae.

I don’t know. We had a contract years ago to run bonding wires to interior wall receptacles in a bunch of houses. It was acceptable then, BUT that was 20 years ago. Might be best to ask your electrical inspector. If it is acceptable, it’s an easy fix.

You could run a single, coated green wire to the box and receptacle, and bond it to your cold water pipe with a clamp.

Never bought one but I am building one this summer.

I am in Canada where it gets colder than -40. I heat with a furnace fed from a 1000 gallon propane tank. I can get a whole year on one tank so it’s not bad. If the propane is low though, and the temperature dips, I have had the propane gel up. Then I have to warm the tank up to get the gas...

I bought a Caterpillar mini excavator in 2011 and I have never regretted it. There are a million and one uses for it. I will never be without one now.

Greenlee has a decent starter kit...
