Electric trench


Most of our electrical trench is done. We are still waiting for the panel to come in, but that should be soon. Meanwhile, here is some of our progress.

Here is the mini excavator and operator who dug the 200' trench, 3' deep.

This is most of the conduit that we put in all laid out and ready to go. We put in one line for the well, one for the panel in the garage and one for either solar or wind power. We also ran one for an exterior outlet in the yard and an empty line for a future house. Also going in the trench is our phone line and a water line.
Here we are glueing the conduit together.


These poles will be what we set the panel on. The tubes are filled with concrete and then we set the poles in.



It's crazy the things they let you do when you get a building permit. There is 37,500 volts of electricity under this transformer!
