[QUOTE="cmjust0, post: 250418, member: 2882"] Yes, I did just quote myself.. :roll: :lol: Anyway, not that anybody should or does care, but I got my groundrods driven.. Only had enough room for four at 10-12' intervals, so that's what I put in. We got some good rain last week, so Sunday I dug four holes with the auger just so I could cheat on about 3' of pounding.. I was able to drive the first rod 7.5' straight down :o , so I thought I was in high cotton. The next three, however, hit rocks at 4', and had to be driven at angles.. I figure the ends are around 3.5' deep, with only about 6-8" sticking out of the ground at a 30* (or so) angle. Overall, I've got about 30' of galvanized 5/8ths rod in the ground, and I'm figuring that a good 25' of that is at least a foot deep. I figure it should be a heck of a grounding system -- better than most -- but I'm a little leary since I had to drive 3 rods at angles.. What do you guys think? [/QUOTE]
