Jim, Thanks for the advice> I am not an electrician. This structure is resting on blocks and has no foundation. Small crawl space and yes, it is possible the ground is on the steel water pipe. All wood construction. Two 20 amp circuits.
"Like I said the ground rod provides no protection from an electrical shock either. What it does do is provide a path for lightning in the event of a nearby lightning strike entering your home and damaging your equipment. I would remove the ground rod wire from the house entirely."
This statement is contradicting. I want a path for lightning but then you state to remove the ground rod.....? Please educate me. Also use a Furman surge protector/conditioner.
