Rods

[petersonra]

My guess is nobody is buying 10 foot rods unless they have good reason to. Those that like to leave just a few inches above grade to be able to see the connection to the rod - I think have good intentions as far as you can see the connection. But unless it is frequently checked by someone that knows what they are looking at, has much better chance of being in an open condition then a buried connection does.--JMO.

True, but common none the less.
