Because not only is copper water pipe much cheaper, I have a lot of it
laying in my basement.  I'm trying to use it.  I was thinking the quick
cement (couple of dollars at local hardware store) would help strengthen the
pipe without affecting the electrical properties of the pipe ( because it
would still be in direct contact with the earth).
