Only one task needed to be achieved on day four of the project, but quite frankly, success wasn't really being counted on.
Years ago, during construction on the driveway to the house site, empty electrical conduit was run down the driveway edge in case one day it might be needed.
Yesterday, it was needed.
The plan is to install new outdoor lights at the far end of the driveway to light up that area during Roxie's and my Perimeter Patrols . (Potty Walks) The major issue with this idea was it's about 250 feet away from the house and would require pulling that much wire thru conduit laid in the driveway edge so many years ago.
The sun was out so my volunteer was able to receive his solar power and thus the project began.
Pulling 250 feet of wire is hard enough by itself, pulling it thru a inch and a half wide pipe sunk into the ground under a sun deck is even harder. But........Success! !!
After pulling and grunting, pulling and grunting some more the wire was successfully pulled thru the conduit. Lights will soon be turning on at the end.of the driveway.
Today is day #5 and hopefully my backhoe operator returns so the last pieces of the project around the house will be finished and then it's off to the Orchard.......
By the way, the volunteer is Tim! Tim also supplied the pictures!
