Thanks guys, I talked to the inspector today, and I think he was just meaning he wanted to See the connection first, before it was covered up. In my case of putting conduit under a slab for a sub panel to a separate building, I still left a 2" pvc "collar" in the form so He can see it when I have to drive the ground rod on the actual wiring of the building. He commented on going ahead and running the ground wire, but that would kind of be in the way of the concrete men pouring concrete, and also possibly damage the ground wire in the process of construction
Thanks for the input
