Ways to keep from getting shocked in a backyard wooden shed?
go look at my profile for the other one. i have another one about sheds and i am posting this one for some clarity. i want to move outside because i want a my own room kindish thing. i am 12 years old and i want at least some space. where i can record my vocal, pratice piano and guitars(when i start)
well:
yes, the shed is wooden, but i don’t know if the roof leaks.
no, i will not need a mini fridge or something like that, i am just in the backyard protected with a fence behind my house-.-. i just need to go in from the backdoor.
however, the shed has electricities, and i want to plug in a AC, Computer, charging stuff like for cellphone, alarm clock. basics, and for entertainments, but not hairdryer or something like that. cuz then dont you think i will need a toilet too?
and yes, i want to know if i will get electrocuted if it’s raining outside, even though there are no leaks in the roof. is that the only place i have to check?? and what are some simple ways i can deal with the leaks cheaply.
please answer my questions instead of randomly saying how your friend woke up, or that i should just stay inside.
Depends on the breaker box, circuit breaker, you are tied into. shed have it’s own circuit breaker? or is it off the garage, den, back bed room. AC will draw 20-AMPS minimum, my guess is it that it’s a branch off of another circuit.Doubt you will be able to draw more than 5 – 10 amps before you get into overload problems.Cell charger, computer, alarm clock-raido, and lights…that’s about it…And unless you are holding something that’s shorted out, or soaking wet while standing in a puddle you should not get zapped. BUT WATER & ELECTRICITY DO NOT MIX AND SHOULD BE AVOIDED AT ALL COST!!!
First off, check the roof for leaks. It’s expensive to have it professionally done, but you can get the materials and do it yourself for relatively cheap. Next, make sure that those electrical outlets are grounded properly. If they’re not, bury a metal pole at least 6 feet into the ground, and connect the ground line of your outlets to that pole. Please note that when I say ground, I mean the lower-middle hole of the plug, not the negative terminal. Finally, make sure that the load of your electrical equipment doesn’t exceed the amperage rating that the sockets are set at. You can find this out by looking at the circuit breaker to see how many amps it allows.
A shed can be just as safe as any house, as long as you take the necessary precautions.

Just buy a tarp, and throw it over the roof………hold it down with a few small ropes or lay some sticks on it………you’ll be ok…….see you on stage soon.
