So what you're saying is, metal roof and walls as long as the floor is not metal,shields?While cars, buses, trains, and planes.... because they are ALL metal chassis framed, become radiation cageswhen a cell phone is used in the car.
 How can the floor count as a ground? What if the ceiling under neath the flooring, has over head lighting?Then its only safe when the main power box is turned off? What if the ground floor, happens to be in an area where there is a lot of stray voltage running thru the earth?Like when utility co's use the ground as their neutral...and instead of the current returning to the sub stations,it takes the path of least resistance, thru the ground, any water pipes, metal gas lines, ect..into a house even.

      Hi Patricia,



If the house has metal siding on 5 sides, the 6th being the floor and

generally counts as ground, then you have a shielded box.

Outside signals will probably still get in the windows, and maybe the

door, and very likely the space between the bottom of the siding and the

ground. But a considerable amount will bounce back and away from you.



Then there are the conditional statements, because the metal siding may

not be completely made of iron and other "solid" metals, but of

less-dense metals that reflect less than 99% of that signal. How much

less, I'd like to know too.

I'm saying how much bounces back does depend on variables.



But inside, if you can actually turn off everything that emits a signal,

disconnect the wires from whatever comes in via your power company, then

you should theoretically have a faraday cage. the most coveted safe room

for EHS.  Except for those pesky leaks mentioned earlier. ;-)



Just don't turn on anything, because it will measure something like a

microwave oven.



Those who have read my story will be interested to hear neighbor #2

constructed a metal canopy (open on 2 sides vehicle shelter) next door,

that blocks line of sight from his WiFi and internet dish, to half of

our house, and all the barn.

I pulled out the meters again when it was done, and ... 50 or 70%

reduction. Yea!

The siding does not touch the ground, rats...  Any improvement in a storm...



Thinking about it, I can see why new siding materials may be less solid

than in the past, as customers that want wireless probably complain

about those pesky metal walls dropping their service.
