I was able to do the work myself. I recall the #6 copper being about 40 cents / foot @ the big box home center. Just now did an online price check and the first www to come up is asking 73 cents / foot.

The reality is that many people never consider the issue and they get lucky. Only a handful of people ever get hit by lighting. Only a handful of people ever get shocked because something was not grounded properly. Some people resent being told to wear a seat belt...

I'm fairly certain that I am an odd one out for thinking about the subject and spending a few bucks as a result. On the other hand, I'm still saving about $70/mo after ditching "Enhanced Basic" cable service - I have long since passed the point of being in the hole monetarily.
