I cried uncle tonight again. I've been trying to weld up some metal on my project dump truck for two weeks now. Im doing this at outside at home because I spend far too much time at the shop, and she has let me know about it.
It has been raining here for what feels like 16 years straight now, and I just cant seem to get a few dry hours to roll out the welder and have at it . Tonight, the skies cleared for two hours, and I was ready to give it heck, but the ground is sopping wet. I would have been basically standing in a puddle. I thought about setting myself up on some plywood, and leather gloves, etc, but I looked it over for a few more minutes, mulled over my options, and decided against it. Getting electrocuted is not the fast way to get a project done.
Is there a real danger of electric shock? Can you ground yourself somehow, to not get zapped? I am sure I have welded at work before with wet floors, and never really thought much about it.
Steel workers have to weld outside all the time, gotta be a way...
