Well, I'm in a lot better shape after two weeks yesterday for the shocking.
Yesterday I picked up eight coconuts with just the tops cut off and the lady said she would have some more today.
I have to get back up the ladder and fix that hanger but you better believe I am going to be careful!

Orchids seem to have done well with out me but lots of broken pots and a few damaged orchids. I'll get it all worked out in the next few days.

Got the pipes up on one side of house. Moved about 20 orchids under the eaves and started re-potting the ones that got dropped two weeks ago.
Went ahead and split two orchids while I was at it.
Hope to get another pipe up maybe tomorrow on the other side and get the rest under the eaves. and keep on re-working things.
I'll start fertilizing and the watering in about two days after they get dried a little. It rained inches again this afternoon and the air is so wet the fans blow water. Think I'll fertilize in two days then just mist everyday just to be sure they are damp.

Any commits?

I'm so glad to know that you are ok after that near death experience! Electricity is something I just don't mess with, unless the power is totally off. What exactly were you trying to do anyway? I missed that part.
What are the topless coconuts for? Are you putting orchids in them?

I was putting up pipes to hang orchids under the eaves to get them out of the rain. See post two weeks ago. I got into the power.

Yes, I am putting my orchids into coconuts. They are free, look natural, work well.

That must have been a scary moment! I learned how it feels thanks to a fly lamp that had high voltage on the outer parts! Construction failure!
I hope you don't suffer long term damage!
