All that rain makes the ground rods easy to install, but do you have any
idea how good a ground you actually have? Maybe your electrician tested them
last year along with the electrical system rods?

John,

I have a series of ground rods in a circle connected by #12  solid
copper wire and the whole thing sits in water most of the year. Last
Winter the ground system for my SW EWE was sitting in 4 feet of water
from all or our rain. The soil is extremely soft. Just push the rods
into the ground. Even 8 foot rods are simple to install. A piece of
cake. My whole property is ground rod heaven. I have them in about
everywhere. I add ones every once in a while and tie them together too.

73,

Patrick
