(another reason to leave the ground rod sticking out of the ground a few
inches)</blockquote><br><br>
I had an inspector require me to drive the rod flush. His concern
was that it was a hazard. A child playing, or anyone for that
matter, who fell face down on it could be severely injured. Other
problems are that it is a trip hazard, and it could create issues with
lawn moer blades. I always pound mine below grade. If I need
to access the rod, I just dig around it a bit. <br><br>
