  • We found out a while ago that plumbing pipes aren’t the best way to ground a house for a variety of reasons, and this is why ufers (grounding to foundation steel) and ground rods are now the NEC standard. Also, this is why bonding wires are important as well. If the plumbing were bonded to a proper dwelling ground system, the current would find a direct path to ground and trip the responsible breaker, instead of using the gas lines as a big ass resistor and creating the light show we see here.

    Right. I’m all for find a way to tip the balance of power away from the ownership class, but willful damage only screws you. Check your rental contract, a landlord can and will sue you for negligent and purposeful damage to their property. They’ll also sing your rental history . Plus, if you’re still living there, you’re only inconveniencing yourself with the repair process.
