Running a new electrical service

We are running a new 200 amp service into the barn. This will be for the wedding but also for my workshop and machinery after the wedding. In this picture my backhoe guy Dave is opening the trench. It is required to be 36" down with stone dust under and over the conduit.





Allegany power has very specific regulations about the materials used. All buried conduit has to be 3 inch and schedule 40. Both sweep elbows have to be schedule 80 and the riser coduit has to be schedule 80.





My friend Mark is an excellent plumber and electrician and he has helped me alot throughout this project. Here he is working on the service hookup.
