Oga Spyder, is it a good idea to connect the thunder arrestor to the (buried) charcoal bag using copper wire instead of the usual copper plate? Are there any pros and cons? |
Re: From House To Home: Our Home Finish Diaries. by spyder880(m): 9:01pm On Oct 08, 2015 |
bugmenot: The right thing is to use copper tape as pictured and not electrical wires containing copper. The wires are too thin to act as earthing for the whole house. |
Re: From House To Home: Our Home Finish Diaries. by gabbytabby: 9:28pm On Oct 08, 2015 |
spyder880: The attached copper rod is what is used in lagos. It is attached to wires and buried in the ground.

There is a shaky beam in this house, built when the house was constructed. I have ordered my boys to knock it out and do another reinforced concrete beam on that position.

Thanks Oga Spyder. How much is the copper tape sold? spyder880: |
Re: From House To Home: Our Home Finish Diaries. by bugmenot: 6:54pm On Oct 09, 2015 |
Thanks Madam Gabby. Does it matter where the copper rod is mounted? Must it be on the roof, or can it be mounted on a long pole close to the building? gabbytabby: |

bugmenot: Well, it can be on a long pole close to your house... if you don't mind lightning ignoring the pole and hitting your house. Seriously, your house - with all the metal in and around it - is a great magnet for lightning, and you don't want to take chances 2 Likes |

You have a point. We'll put it on the roof. Many thanks. nextstep: |
