I see violations of

250.53(A)

250.56

250.64(B)

I would not call 110.12 as the term "Neat and workman like manner" are considered as vague and possibly unenforceable.

And (I'm not going to add the wording because someone got after me the last time I did that! :(

R321.1

R401.3

R404.1.6

It is a shame that wording can't be added,since these code section do not correlate to the 2006 IRC..
I can add the wording provided that someone doesn't get mad at me. :D

Now what I am posting is from the 2011 NEC and sections 250.53(A) and 250.56 were combine into 250.53(A) and now that section has subsections (1) through (3)

250.53 Grounding Electrode System Installation.Informational Note: See 547.9 and 547.10 for special

grounding and bonding requirements for agricultural

buildings.

(A) Rod, Pipe, and Plate Electrodes. Rod, pipe, and plate

electrodes shall meet the requirements of 250.53(A)(1)

through (A)(3).

(1) Below Permanent Moisture Level. If practicable, rod,

pipe, and plate electrodes shall be embedded below permanent

moisture level. Rod, pipe, and plate electrodes shall be

free from nonconductive coatings such as paint or enamel.

(2) Supplemental Electrode Required. A single rod, pipe,

or plate electrode shall be supplemented by an additional

electrode of a type specified in 250.52(A)(2) through

(A)(8). The supplemental electrode shall be permitted to be

bonded to one of the following:

(1) Rod, pipe, or plate electrode

(2) Grounding electrode conductor

(3) Grounded service-entrance conductor

(4) Nonflexible grounded service raceway

(5) Any grounded service enclosure

Exception: If a single rod, pipe, or plate grounding electrode

has a resistance to earth of 25 ohms or less, the

supplemental electrode shall not be required.

(3) Supplemental Electrode. If multiple rod, pipe, or plate

electrodes are installed to meet the requirements of this

section, they shall not be less than 1.8 m (6 ft) apart.
Here is 250.64(B) again this is the 2011 wording.

(B) Securing and Protection Against Physical Damage.Where exposed, a grounding electrode conductor or its enclosure

shall be securely fastened to the surface on which it

is carried. Grounding electrode conductors shall be permitted

to be installed on or through framing members. A 4

AWG or larger copper or aluminum grounding electrode

conductor shall be protected if exposed to physical damage.

A 6 AWG grounding electrode conductor that is free from

exposure to physical damage shall be permitted to be run

along the surface of the building construction without metal

covering or protection if it is securely fastened to the construction;

otherwise, it shall be protected in rigid metal

conduit (RMC), intermediate metal conduit (IMC), rigid

polyvinyl chloride conduit (PVC), reinforced thermosetting

resin conduit (RTRC), electrical metallic tubing (EMT), or

cable armor. Grounding electrode conductors smaller than 6

AWG shall be protected in RMC, IMC, PVC, RTRC, EMT,

or cable armor.

Oh gee Thanks for letting us all know what the section numbers actually read that I posted. We know what the code reads Mr Mule/ Moderator. Yes they do pertain to this install per the picture I have and can see.

I cannot determine if there are any weep holes in the brick veneer or not.

Possibly R703.7.6 - `06 IRC.

If there are, they are probably buried in the planter. Good pickup even in the electrical section!
