Hillbilly yes, but it'll work.
GROUNDING: I can't make heads or tails of all the information posted about this. Someone correct me if I'm wrong here: I can just run a copper wire from the insert, along the pipe, to the metal plenum, and again on the out-feed pipe, attaching it every foot or so and then to my ground source, right?
NEXT: what's a ground source? Stick a metal rod on the ground in the yard and feed a wire from it into the shop? Can I run a wire out of the wall from the ground leg at one of the outlets?
Baby talk please with any responses - Some of the thicker posts I've read went right over my head, and I want to have at least a basic understanding of what I'm doing and especially "why".
