[TowerTalk] Driving ground rods

[Monte Stark]

Hi All,

I made a driver for my ground rods.

I used a pipe that would slide over the ground rods without too
much play.  Inside that pipe I welded a steel rod that was about
the same OD as the pipes ID. I have about 3' of open pipe for
the driving motion and the steel rod is about 4' overall.

This will drive the rod to about 3'. From there it's easy to
use a sledge hammer.

Power drivers are much nicer, but more than I could afford!

cul,
