Dean Warner electrician runs our secondary electrical service into our lower level utility room. The electric service, along with telephone and television cable enter under the footing through 2″ conduits. After installation, the conduits will be sealed air-tight for passive house standards.
Several months ago the phone company, Verizon, dropped off a spool of cable weighing several hundred pounds. Chris built a spool caddy and waited. At long last, the nearest neighbor granted an easement to the nearest utility pole, a date was set for electrical service installation, Chris dug the trench with his father-in-law, National Grid installed the electric cables — and yesterday Chris unwound the cable the length of the trench.
