I continued pounding stakes.

Which should be of no interest to anyone, except of course, our neighbors who likely are interested in knowing when it will be done.

In other news, while taking time off to get the feeling back into my hands, I'd work on finishing up the electrical for the addition.



Yes, that's a crazy amount of conduit considering what it's for. I've lived in places, (many places actually) that didn't have this much stuff for the entire house. See what a nice job I'm doing of NOT launching into a diatribe?



Ground rod #1. This goes in at about 30 blows with the 10lb-er per inch. Yes. Got about 20 inches to go, or 600 blows or so.

Oh, the first foot went pretty well, the second foot, not so much, the third foot was about 20 blows with the slide hammer per inch, the next foot about 50 per inch, and so forth, until it was down far enough to get at it with the sledge.



Ground rod #2. This one is much better. First 3 feet were only about 200 blows with the slide hammer, the next 2 feet only another 200 or so blows. Now it's going in with the sledge at about 20 blows per inch. Much better than the other one. :)

yes, the neighbors will be pleased when this is done.
