It was a busy and productive long holiday weekend at the ole homestead!
After installing our water line, our contractor wasted no time in digging the trench for the electrical line!
The electrical trench has a two foot depth requirement and as of yesterday afternoon it was nearly complete! Once the trench is ready, 2.5 inch PVC conduit will be installed and it will run from the nearest telephone pole, which is in the easement, to where the transformer will reside, see second pic below and circled in red. A separate conduit will then run from the transformer, which is approximately 190 feet from the house, up to the house. The caveat with this electrical work is that it MUST be inspected and approved by the Greenville Energy Authority (GEA) but they've been great to work with, so there shouldn't be any issues or delays.
Looking down towards the pond at the contactor in the orange backhoe digging away -
The electrical transformer will sit here, circled, just before the trench -
Deep and neatly dug -

Don't be shocked that we're energized with the progress! As a matter of fact, we're currently so shocked it hertz but plan to stay grounded! Watt do you expect!
