If you can find that place under the mobile home where he was drilling through,

he's going to be a conductor that's up under the house in that area.

00:22
Yeah, I found a spot.
00:23
There's a little bit of some little hot spot where he was drilling at.

If we can get a water can or maybe even a garden hose that can reach for on that, that'd be great.

We got you a water can.
00:38
Can you put you on that conductor that he hit and it completely damaged or is he going to have to do it and tie that off?
00:50
Man, the only thing I see you right now that's burning is this little insulation.
00:53
I'm going to dig through it and see if I can find what you're talking about.
