DEW attack in Canneto di Caronia?

From what you describe finding so far with the Rube Goldberg install I wouldn't be surprised if there are junctions inside the wall that may or may not be properly connected and there shouldn't be any at all anyways.

An electrical engineer does not an electrician make. Related field of study, but electrical engineers usually design motors and electronic circuits and whatnot, not install high voltage wiring. What you're describing with ground wired to neutral was definitely not code compliant in 1994 when the house was built. The only real solution to the would be to pull the proper wiring. Sparks flying from outlets sounds like the voltage is way too high on whatever leg of the service that circuit is on. 

Very nice job on the bathroom remodel. Want to come do mine? Hahaha

Thanks

Yes, Rube Goldberg to the EXtreme!

I have my Monster Surge Box + Voltage Conditioner on the other side of the garage wall in the Man Cave. The Monster has a live voltage readout. Post Dominion Energy the on ground Transformer box removal and positional reinstall using old transformer but with new underground electrical conduit from their other transformer I am now seeing a constant daytime voltage of 123 to 124 volts.  They cut a huge tree down that "compromised" their box last August 2023. It was on a 35 degree angle. In the South their quick fix on anything such as water pressure and voltage is to crank it up and to hell with the homeowner. 

What has changed is the 100's of millisecond power outages are now fewer versus the 100's we used to get pre Transformer positioning that we used to have. I wonder if that 30 + something year old transformer is bad? I think that one underground Transformer is for three homes

I wonder what the reading is at night? I will take a look and do some research. I owned that box since 2008 when I bought a Pioneer Elite Plasma TV. I have never seen the voltage this high until the last 4 months.
