BV, if your outdoor outlet has -- or is connected to -- a GFI, have you
tested it? We nearly drove ourselves crazy trying to figure out which
circuit breaker had flipped, only to discover that one of the kitchen GFI
outlets hadn't been reset correctly.

OK, flame away...I deserve it.

The reason for my lack of protection is careful balance of budget and
laziness. I intend to trench out to the pond this year and lay some conduit
to carry two circuits, some video cable, not sure what else, maybe a water
line.

BV, get thee to a Lowes or whatever
you have back there in the heathen east and
buy a gfi this weekend!!!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. I'll do it soon. But my goal for this year is to
get the pond run by a trenched power line. I have a 'lectrical friend, that
will juice it up for me.
