Its warming up, looking like an early spring. "One sixty" is starting to ramp
up with longer, stronger DX
I hear complaints --- I can't put in a ground rod, the ground is still
frozen.
Take a tip from the Electric power companies, who are out there replacing their
damaged poles.
Use a drill bit to get through the frost,. and yes impact hammers do work also.
But drills open up a path without compressing the earth.
BIg Box hardware stores like Lowe's, Home Depot and others have drill bit
extensions. The shanks are sizes that will fit into 1/4 and 3/8 inch drills.
And at the other end there is a fitting that will accept larger bits.
Check it out before the DX fades
