[RE-wrenches] Nuance ground racking

[Jerry Shafer]

We had wind lift issues so that will effect your installation. I have used
the current Nuance product and prior to that the same manufacturer under a
different name. Its more than just driving the rods down we had to do a
pull out test. We used hydrolic drivers attacked to the rack due to the
necessary torq. We have also used ¹/²" rebar hammer drilled down with a
hook on the top so that was easy.
Fun times
