The house I'm renting had crappy grounding.  Solved with the rent of the
Ground Gun(tm).  A 10 foot long 500 lb contraption I rented that I'm sure
contravenes many arms treaties.  Put the brass cap on the end of your hard
drawn steel core copper grounding rod, slide it into the Ground Gun, tilt it
upright and attach the guy wires.  Take the control cable, go aroudn the
corner of the house and hit the button after turning the arm key.  Loud
explosion and grounding rod is impaled into the ground, and the Department
of Homeland Security shows up a few minutes later looking for Osama.

Was an amusing 10 minutes...

I *so* wanted to try firing it up...
