This last Tuesday I sat and passed my Capstone assessment, cue several months of passing forms between government departments and I'll be an officially licensed sparky!

    Ka-boom

    Callout to a farm today, motor won't go. This is what greets me when I open up the control box. Lightning storm yesterday, seems the poor relay didn't appreciate the jolt. Anyone care to share their pics of utterly destroyed bits and pieces?
