Installing Electricity

We had the temporary power supply for the workers installed on Tuesday. As soon as the house is enclosed, we're taking this puppy inside into the utility room once the house is enclosed. We still haven't decided whether to take the main power line (seen snaking into the panel at left) into the house through the frame wall or to drill a hole into the foundation wall (seen at right). Decisions, decisions. The piles of 1/2" clear, crushed stone in the background were delivered today
and will eventually fill the foundation and act as a bed for the hydronic slab.

The electrician actually had to come back on Wednesday to install our new address on the private pole shown here. Had to call town hall at Frelighsburg to find out what it was; they gave me all the permits, but not the adress! If you look carefully at the top of the pole you will see it.

The excavator and electrician cooperated very nicely to install the hydro pole. A few tense moment ensued when we found rock ledge a foot under the ground where the pole was supposed to go. Had to move it about 12 feet away from the drive (it was supposed to be inline with the oak tree shown at right). Fortunately, the electric line reached the pole.
