<< Subject: Ground rods
 
 Hello all,
 I have a few questions about grounding. I have access to 8ft. sections of
 Stainless Steel Tubing (free) would this work for ground rods. I know Copper
 (not free) is best. Also I was going to put them under my covered deck to
 keep them out of the way, but the earth is dry under there, would it be
 better to put them somewhere wetter? And last does anyone know of a mail
 order source for Tungsten TIG points or rod? I called a few welding supply
 places in the Dallas area and they didnt know what I was talking about?
Thanks.

Brad,

If they are free, I would sure use them.  If you drive them in somewhere
where the soil is dry, you will need to wet the area down with the hose
before running the coil.  I would think virtually all welding shops would
carry TIG rods.  The first one I went to had several different sizes.
