Shortly after my sister bought her farm i was helping her work on a sump pump in the basement. We ran across some barbed wire suspended from ceramic knob and tube type electical insulators. At first I thought it was probably remnants of an old electric fence charger installation and didnt pay it much attention. After a while curiosilty got the best of me so i traced it out. Turned out that it had at one time been used to supply 110v current to and old well pump. Could you imagine reaching up and getting caught on one of those barbs on an energized electrical circuit?

They can say what they will, but I for one am very thankful that we have codes and standards to prevent such happenings.
