On the high tensile thread you wrote about hating ground rods. What about ground rods do you object to ? Mine have been in ground for 23 years and are still working well.
I just hate dealing with them in general - I love where the soil consists of heaps of rocks & is often dry, which can make getting a good ground finicky, as I’ve experienced when I boarded at places who dealt with that. The bipolar tape means not only do I not have to drive them, but I never even have to think about them. It’s just easier for me.
