[RE-wrenches] 690.47(D)

[Jason Szumlanski]

I don’t think that was the intention necessarily, but I have argued the
same thing with varying degrees of success. Fortunately (?) we are still on
2011 here, but 2014 is coming and hopefully AHJs will remain permissive of
no additional electrode if the home already has one within 6 feet of the
service entrance (which it almost always does).
