And now after further reading on auxiliary grounding electrodes, I won't give it another thought. Thanks again.

Thanks for the reply, Stuff. I wasn't aware of the 3' limit, so that's good to know. I thought a ground rod near the base of the post would seem to provide extra insurance but didn't know if it was permissible, or would create some sort of undesirable ground loop.

Thanks for the reference to wingits. They have some interesting and innovative products, but not the grip I'm looking for. For my current applications I've torn out the old mud set tile and am looking at open stud walls. Lots of blocking will be added in due time. By the way, I plan to...
