The digging was yesterday. Jerry came over with his Yanmar backhoe. The photo below is getting started, digging up the lilac bush next to the house (we replanted it on the other side of the house):
Below Jerry is continuing to dig the ditch away from the house. If you look carefully, you can see that he found the old cable, not in conduit. (Click on any photo to enlarge.)
After digging away from the house for a bit, Jerry moved to the garage and dug away from it. Below he is digging at the point where the two ditches met:
It rained lightly three different times during the day, but that did not stop us. With the ditch dug, Steve could lay conduit:
Piles of dirt everywhere!
The ditches were filled in by the end of the day yesterday. Steve came back today and ran the cable through the conduit and hooked up the electrical connections on both ends. Success!
The two photos below show the two ends of the project with the cable in the ground, in conduit this time. The stone walk is not yet completely replaced.
Many thanks to Jerry and Steve!! The cable was back in the ground in time for Nancy to mow the lawn this afternoon for the first time this year.
