I have to say I like that idea. I haven't done enough with the nice
copper ground strap since my AM broadcast days other than running the
length of my sailboat. It may seem excessive but it is a great path to
ground. I would consider bonding the two ground rods to the utility
ground for the house. I'd have to look to be sure, but I believe it is
code that any additional ground rod be bonded to the main ground system.
While you are talking about doing that in the house with a run to the
breaker panel, I believe it may be more correct to bond them outside
around the perimeter of the house.

I believe it is polyphaser that makes a nice little kit that makes the
transition from flat strap to a round ground rod, though I don't know
that it is a cadweld solution. Perhaps someone else has some ideas, but
you are off to a great start!
