Rereading the original post I see I missed the point.
It seems George is concerned about being legally bound to bond any and every stub of structural steel within the bounds of his installed system.
Could you imagine explaining to the average homeowner why you need to hack into their 50 year old foundation to bond the rebar (well, there was supposed to be some rebar in here!!)
while doing an otherwise routine service change. As if explaining the cost of arc fault breakers and why you needed so many wasn't bad enough.
I'm waiting for an inspector to tell me that I need a #4 bond between all of the copper stubs attached to an otherwise plastic plumbing system because they are "likely to become energized".
