[QUOTE="mobgrazer, post: 604735, member: 9043"] Don’t quote me on this but I’ll take a shot at it. Yes it sounds like the plug had a GFCI on it but they don’t always work unless what it is plugged into a grounded outlet. Because the ground was frozen it did not have a decent path to ground (this could have been the same thing for the fish tank). But more or less (the nutshell explanation) they work by measuring how much power goes out the hot and how much comes back through the negative. It can be off by so much then it will trip. Yes you can get shocked off GFCI before it will trip if there is a high resistance on the current leak. Some days I don’t know how my wife keeps up with it all. I get up do the breakfast thing with the kids do some farm work then drive them to school. Then I sped a few hours in the office with my wife doing “paperwork”, ordering stuff, and looking at what needs to get done. My mother and father in law will show up with lunch and then it’s back to work for an hour or so setting up new padlocks and stuff. My wife takes off to get the kids runs to town twice a week for the youngest and her speech therapy. Depending what’s going on I’ll cook dinner then it’s off to family time. We do a cutting of alfalfa and of one or two of “pasture trash” as we call it; then it gets fun trying to play the weather. She will work in the garden all day long but she will not get dirty on the farm for nothing. Between her and her mom they do a good job on keeping up with everything else. The 12 and 14 year old loves to get dirty and will help out all the time on the farm work. [/QUOTE]
