Here's a little trick if you use a pipe for a ground rod: Thread both ends of
the pipe. On the top put a fitting that will accept a garden hose. On the bottom
put a reduction fitting (to be used as a nozzle). Hold the pipe vertical, turn
on the water full blast, then let the water drill the hole. When you are done
just unscrew the top fitting, and PRESTO!!! A great ground rod without a lot of
fuss.

BTW, this doesn't work very well in areas where there are a lot of large rocks
in the ground.....
