In the trenches (Part 2)

The trench had to be 36" minimum depth, which meant a bit of hand digging with a shovel.  Then, a rope had to be drawn through the PVC conduit so that when Hydro One appears with their wire, it can be pulled back through, from the road all the way to our house, which is over 100 metres. It was a daunting task, but we found a bottle, filled it with gravel and taped the rope to it. When it was fed through the tube, it fell easily to the other end and didn't catch on anything.  After that, P glued all the pieces together.  But rain was in the forecast ... would we be rained out, with a huge mess of mud on our hands?  Stay tuned ...
