This is by far the most comical, and entertaining, yet educational video I've seen. Quite a production! Great job!

Holy Cow! The Coach does have a sense of humor!!! ❤️

anyone using the water method doesn't live in New England where they plant small rocks and wait for them to grow into boulders every spring. We are almost stuck driving close to the foundation where the backfill is less likely to be full of stones. Oh, and don't forget "call b-4 you dig" to prevent issues with water lines. (I know people who have been there)

Fence post pounders work pretty good. They maybe a little safer than a sledge hammer. When using a fence post pounder, when you get to the point that it is hitting the ground, flip it over and use the top of it to drive the ground rod the rest of the way in.

[@philhammond5908]

You turn that post driver over to finish driving the ground rod . If an. Inspector pulls on your rod and it comes up ;will he be happy?

[@ElectricalCodeCoach]

Shows you how far I've gotten with one lol

[@electron2864]

LOL, good one. You should do one like Family Feud

Haha😭 "pinkies up"👀!

I don't bother with bottled water. I just dig a foot-or-so wide hole six inches deep where I want to place the rod and fill that with water. If I hit a rock, I pull the rod out and move over a few inches. Most rocks in my area are small. Also, a power company study found that water with epson salt *tripled* the soil conductivity. And unlike table salt, plants love the magnesium in epson salt. Warm water will make it dissolve better.

Awesome coach😂

Very clever 😀

[@davidfox8627]

Most places around here you have to beat every single inch in the ground because its so rocky

[@P27520]

Amazing video! 😆 🤣

Let’s get to it

[@markd5067]

We live far enough in the Ozark woods that there are no building codes according to the county in which we reside. However, we understand they're in place for safety reasons, and to the best of our ability, we will be trying to meet the minimum requirements as we build on our property. That being said, we've run into an issue when attempting to drive in our first grounding rod. It stops driving any further past around 2 1/2 feet or so....no matter where we relocate and try to drive it in. Our property is on a mountain and there are boulders the size of small houses on our property, not to mention smaller rocks everywhere. We've tried a large hammer drill, and a small and large sledgehammer but it won't go any further. Are there alternatives to this method of grounding a breaker panel? Does anyone know if this recent gadget called EMP Shield would be a possible alternative to ground rods? Any advice would be appreciated.
