this home was remodeled from the ground up about 12 years ago. with help of prior experiences work/electricians aid and a few fires from faulty aluminum wires the remodel was mainly replacing the pre-wiring with 14/2 copper and bigger breaker box with 20 amp breakers, the 220v part is used some heavy gauge out door wire and some random breakers. with that said some issues the house has: Isn't grounded the breaker box indoor isn't grounded and the out door main box isn't. just neutral and 2 110v. over time some things have raised a brow, my fence surrounding the yard put off a nice electrical show one night i stopped using the wire (and never figured out how it made it out to the fence but that seemed to have stopped the show in the rain storm) several times my house has been hit by lightning and apparently the first one the satellite was taken out and the repair guy took apart my makeshift house ground wire. (just noticed now). the roof has been "hot" for sometime (about 4 years since first noticed). but now it's seems everything in the house that's metal is electrified "hot" a few random checks with assortment of electric testers i've found some odd readings like receptacle tester all 3 lights are on and then non-contact ac voltage detector says most things metal are reading some volts and oddly enough my pvc water pipes are also showing readings i'm not sure how to check for a ground or make one to get it indoors sorry for Grammar errors and bad punctuation, and help would be appreciated. where i live there isn't any code or inspectors and the electric company don't care there is no county inspectors. (i had a appliance failure and needed one to get warranty) i'm not worried so much as a fire as to i'm tired of replacing expensive appliances and getting random shocks :madhell: not sure if it matters everything in my house is energy star maxed with exception to: dryer (the washer destroys clothes at times but makes dryer time much shorter), and about 4 800 watt computers. electronics readers.. indoor breaker box the main outdoor breaker box (just noticed the green ground wire isn't connected and has no place to connect it) [URL=https://imageshack.com/i/mviyfhj][IMG]http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1024x768q90/823/iyfh.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=https://imageshack.com/i/nasd76j][IMG]http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1024x768q90/838/sd76.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=https://imageshack.com/i/nakmkjj][IMG]http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1024x768q90/838/kmkj.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=https://imageshack.com/i/mjsm94j][IMG]http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1024x768q90/811/sm94.jpg[/IMG][/URL] the ground wire on the pole is connected the meter but not the main box (if that is needed) witch both was installed buy the electric company. as to there reqiurments. most everything else was all done by me at some point or time. other flaws to the electrical is mice & lowes cheap 15 amp plug ends I've had to replace some sections over time and plugs and switches. i don't know what else to add. ask any thing i'll be waiting to reply. :wall:

I'm hoping for some advice/comments about the idea of putting this PoE switch box in an outdoor location [url=http://www.geovision.com.tw/english/Prod_GVPoE0400.asp]GeoVision Inc. GV-POE0400 4-Port 802.3at PoE Switch[/url] (dimensions shown on Dimensions tab) into a home-made wooden protective cover box, fairly weather-protected, at this receptacle shown on the wall in the following photo: [URL=http://s207.photobucket.com/user/sgull1/media/IMG_2582_zps66d0cd54.jpg.html][IMG]http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb153/sgull1/IMG_2582_zps66d0cd54.jpg[/IMG][/URL] The switch box (which is about 5x3x1 inches in size) would plugged into the receptacle, and in addition I plan to have a light bulb installed inside the protective box which to be left on during the wintertime to keep temperature inside the box from falling below the minimum operating temperature (32F) for the switch box. The cord to the light bulb would be plugged into the receptacle as well. Five Cat5e ethernet cables would run be running into the protective box to the switch mounted within it. The wall is vinyl siding over 1/2" plywood. There is an eave overhead which almost always prevents the location from getting very wet during times of heavy rain, although there are the occasional times during wind can be a factor and some wetness will occur. I'd appreciate any advice in regard to a practical type of protective box, a design that seems reasonable for this purpose including the manner in which I might have it mounted over the receptacle to house the switch/cables and the bulb/cord within. I do happen to have a box (leftover from something else), pictured below, I was thinking of maybe trying to utilize for this purpose. Any/all comments welcome.
