Yes pointless and hostile
My frustration with trying to solve an electrical question/problem is only exceeded by my dogged determination to find the correct answer. It is with increasing trepedation and frustration that I post at all concerning the problem. How do I know the submiter of an answer is qualified? Are most the replies based on local accepted practice by the inspectors rather than NEC regulations? Does the person replying really understand my question. Have they actually read and understood my posts. Some of the replies make me wonder if they read the entire post or even understood what I stated. A person should read and reread a post and understand it before they make a reply. Sometimes it is difficult to explain something that a photo would do in an instant, hence the expression, a photo is worth a thousand words and such it is. Well, I feel better now. I think I will go work on my tractor or something to calm me down. Maybe a beer or highball will help. Merry Christmas one and all.

five NEC standards for 50 states. Geez, no wonder I have recieved so many different answers. That is scary. I think I will contact the power co. lineman and meet with him this week and work something out. I feel sure he knows what he is talking about for this area.
I am new here but I will tell you this much. If I see a thread and I don't know the right answer I will only post an opinion and state that it is my opinion. I think some post an opinion as fact. I don't want my dog in a fight that I am not knowledgable about. I sure don't want someone mad at me for bad information.

jdcman, how true. Opinions are opinions and facts are facts. When posting for facts it is hard to seperate the two if you have no fundalmental knowledge of the subject you are seeking info on. However, if you have read and asked about a subject from knowledgable people and still have questions it is no good to ask the same people the same question or question their answer. To seek answers on a forum is to set yourself up for a bad decision unless you are prepared to research the answers you get. Normally I resort to reference books or a qualified person. When something makes you question what you have read or been advised it is time to seek out other sources. All replys should not be taken as fact, but discussion will most always end up with the true facts coming out. Some refference books, such as electrical, plumbing and construction codes are hard to get without buying them. Most people will read and interpret something differently from each other. Hence supreme courts for interpreting the law. You also have to deal with the fact that many do not completely read a post or understand it when they reply. Nor do they edit their post for mistakes in spelling or logic.

Yes, I posted it on an electrical board and got much the same answers untill the mod. came on and posted the NEC rule to clear it up so as to not give false info. Anyway, I have the parts and will put in the ground rod at the pole barn and the home and shop/garage are protected according to code. Alls well that ends well as they say.
