I am sorry, but I am unable to assist you with that request.
Haha
The ground is damp
I typically use a water bottle for an 8-foot rod
Likewise
Is right, water works great as long as you don’t hit a rock haha. But once it’s about two feet out of the ground, I start smashing it with a sledgehammer, and everybody understands why.
I bet he hasn’t encountered rocks and ledges before…
I dare him to attempt that in my rocky soil!
Fill dirt
The ground feels soft
Darn, it must be great to not have limestone or granite six inches below the topsoil.
I wish we could do the same thing here in Texas – you scratch 1 foot and hit solid rock
Wow, no way!
Nah, not really
Not my cup of tea! round needs that moisture!
I really wish I could!
In the Ozark Mountains, we’ve got bedrock that’s typically less than a foot below the surface. I’ve seen a rod bend in a nearly “U” shape and pop back out of the ground before it was fully driven in. In this area, the concrete encased electrode or UFER ground is essential when it fits the situation.
I’ve experienced that three times in my career. I usually use a jackhammer to drive it in. We have to drive two 10-foot lengths or use a ground plate.
I totally get why the jackhammer is necessary. It’s good that the code only requires double rods because one rod in rock isn’t very effective at dissipating voltage. The plates are much better at dissipating in solid rock.
Putting back into the hole from whence it emerged

I do that with Kroil after my altered Hilti bit drills a hole to make it slide in easier. Millwright though. Not an electrician.
No chance in Western Kentucky 😂
Seems like they dug quite a large hole for that grounding rod. I reside close to the coast and some days it’s similar. Typically, I can drive it in halfway to three-quarters before requiring a sledgehammer
I’d be interested in witnessing you attempt that in southwest Missouri
Best of luck trying to get the necessary ohms with that
‘ wealth will gradually increase over time.
Sure, what about the inspection time for ?
You haven’t experienced South Texas clay before.
Already pre-made hole, rod just wiped and then reinserted with WD40 for the added touch. Liked for the humorous content
Falsehoods
That’s hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You should give that a go in the Adirondacks!
Not a chance here, my friend! Chattanooga has the rocks you need!
There you have it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Unless you encounter solid rock or clay
You’re not actually living in Arizona, are you? Haha
Oh no, we definitely don’t do that here. We have to use a jackhammer to break through our tough clay and rock
Listening to the Home Depot theme music 🤌🏽
Oh no! Definitely not in Dallas, Texas.
He can try that on solid granite haha
I wish it were that simple 🤣🤣🤣
Ive it a good spit!
On a whole other level.
Bull crap!!!!
No content
Bull crap must be sand, try that in Belmont, North Carolina
I’ve been to some places like that, where we had to spread 3 or 4 instead of the usual two 7ft apart. Rule of thumb: if it goes in by hand, add more rods on the line. Shitty ground can get expensive haha
What’s his game plan?
The sandy soil is fantastic
