After four inspections, we have finally passed our electrical inspection. The first inspection uncovered a short list of things we had to change. One of those things was the grounding rod. As has been stated before, the cabin is located on river rock and whenever you try to drive anything into the soil, you will most likely hit one of those rocks. A grounding rod is 8 feet in length, so naturally, we knew we would never be able to sink it the required length. We had heard about another process that required the driving of two 4 foot rods and connecting them with the wire. Apparently, this procedure is no longer approved. Luckily there is another process where you can put a plate in the ground and run the cable to it. Unfortunately, the inspector did not tell us we needed two plates with the wire connecting the two...so inspection number two failed. It was off to an electrical store to get another plate. When the inspector showed up the third time, the connectors that connected the wire between the plates was not the correct type...and inspection number three failed. Finally today, the inspector looked at the work and it passed...HALLELUJAH!

Hallelujah and pass the whiskey. Maybe if you had just given the inspector a bottle of single malt scotch the first time your problems would have been solved.
Also, the shadow of the seedling looks like the cross of Jesus....in fact, I am sure it is....maybe you should send it into Ripley's Believe It or Not and get down on your knees to pray....it is a MIRACLE I tell you!!!
