[QUOTE="Apache, post: 155031, member: 828"] An earth rod is cheap and relatively easily pulled back up! There's [URL="http://www.talk.electricianforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1310"]this [/URL]thread in the useful links section that may help with armour sizes being suitable as earth. Is this not a time to get your test meter out and test for continuity? As a lay person I would assume that anything going into the ground has the possibility of being extraneous so structural steel work, but bonding a door attached to a wooden frame could be more dangerous than not bonding it. We are back to running fly leads to metal window frames. Exporting the earth to the shed and then bonding it to the metal door that was insulated from the rest of the structure might give you quite a tingle on a wet day. Bonding is not a benign thing that can do no harm - you can give people a shock with it. Can I possibly direct you to the exporting earth threads. There will be a test at the end. :D [/QUOTE]
