And when the existing rod is in a rubble-free position they still want me to move it a metre down the garden to avoid non-existent rubble. Now who's blindly following the regs?
I'm the very last person here, to ''blindly follow'' any code or regulation!! lol!!
You talk some real crap sometimes, you haven't a clue whats below your rod position set just 30cm from the house wall. When i talk about rubble, i'm not just talking about the solid crap that gets thrown out, but all the other old building materials that just get tipped out of the building during construction, most of which won't be doing the soil any favours in the conductivity stakes. As i stated earlier, in the type of soil you have driven a 2.4m coupled rod into, i'd be looking or expecting to see initially, around 15 ohms or thereabouts in an ideal position. But hey, what the hell do i know, compared to your wealth of knowledge and experience!!
