Bet thats a good Ra

I always thought that GLENNSPARK was a pale lad, must have been out in this sunny weather we've been having recently.
Thought he'd be more broad Yorkshire aswell.

Cant be Glennspark, he would have used 2.5mm and not 1.0mm stranded :rofl:

Seems legit. Might use that method for TT'ing my neighbours dog kennel after he installs a TV and lamp! Ya gotta think about safety these days ;-)

Sorry to be a boring fart. There’s a couple of good videos grouped with that erm….instructional erm…… (trying to think of an appropriate word)

Thermic welding cable to rods Electrician's Life - Cad Welding Ground Rod to Copper Cable Ground Ring - YouTube and to rebar Cad Weld - Copper Ground to Rebar - YouTube for an Ufer earth mat.
Bought back some memories from my apprenticeship.

Now why is that termination method frowned upon?
We've been wasting cash on properly sized cable and clamps for years lads.

I thought that was standard practice in South Shields and parts thereabouts.

That is ssssooooo bad even his hammer gave up after 44 seconds LOL :rofl:

This is what he posted up on his own vidoe:-

"make sore that yours wire and the rod are 1feet bellow the ground level , put some soil to hide that whole. YOUR ROD AND WIRE MUST NOT BE VISIBLE FROM OUTSIDE AND HAS BEEN !FEET LOW THAN THE GROUND LEVEL TO PROTECT YOUR APPLIANCES FROM SKY LIGHTNING PUT THE SOIL TO HIDE THE WIRE AND ROD THAT YOU DIG ......"



"SKY LIGHTNING" for crying out loud?? 1 foot of soil will do absolutely nothing!!! Great post, made me laugh :rofl:


18ft???? Not even Trev could bang in an 18ft rod lol. Then again thinking about it I bet he could?

Trev could bray that in with his knob end.

Only in Horsley Hill and parts of Simonside mate

Trev could bray that in with his knob end.

It's not big enough
