Congratulations for a job well done with the proper preparations to insure safety.

The lighting arrestors should have the shortest possible connections, specially to ground, any length will be shown as an inductance which allows the spike of lightning to produce a high voltage and may reduce the arrestor capacity to a minimum and allowing excessive voltage build up.

Also, the ground wire to be as thick as possible to reduce the inductance to a minimum.

FOR HARRIE:

Some states may have excessive number of deers which overload the area supplies for them, to instead of culling them, the hunters are allowed to get additional animals, it is a sound deer population management.
