Oh, OK, I thought it was new when you bought it.

No, had just been fully renovated.

Somebody beat ya to it.


Also: I didn't say what I said in the typically-expected-it's-America-sue-'em type way. If the 'sparky' didn't protect the wire entry(ies) properly, he would be legally responsible for damages incurred due to his negligence.

And, if someone's negligence puts my family in the jackpot the way Ali's was, dude better be happy to find himself in court. There's every chance he could find himself on the receiving end of a hammer.

Yeah, i get your point grav. Problem is its hard to tell if that really was the cause. If we report him, they will likely take our pole fuse out till its repaired. We are deciding on the best course of action for now.
