You will see articles on the net describing drilling a hole with a hose

electrodes, this would not be an acceptable method.

Good evening, Owen.

I just started a new thread on this, titled "Using a copper water pipe in
place of a ground rod?". That was after I looked for the above paragraph
from you and didn't find it until just now.

I'd like to know why you think it's not acceptable, but I'll continue this
in that thread.
