[SMCARA] Cost

[Daniel Metcalf]

I don't know you are asking about something that I have yet to do myself. I
will CC the club and see what we get.

All,

Bill has asked me the following question:
Question. I have a solid copper wire running into main panel from under the
ground. Tried digging this up but rod must be pretty deep. Can I attach my
two other ground rods to this wire to complete grounds?

Based on what I do know all grounds have to be bonded together anyway so I
don't see a problem but I leave this discussion open to the club.
