Yes, I do expect them to remember stuff like that, especially considering they plowed for the previous owner. It was on his own recognizance they stopped by in Oct. to ascertain. My plow guy is great guy, I'm not diggin it when reading this post makes him the victim - nope

..... says it all

They would make me pick it up

The only spot this cord crosses the driveway is a 20 foot span that is no less than 15 ft overhead. From this location is a 75 foot length of cord running no less than 15 feet away from the drive, laying on the ground. That said, there should be no reason to mark its path. If the man doesn't...

Roger that PCustoms

Please execpt my apologies for being a smart arss and the rant ...... my plow guy (and his apprentices) are good people, I know them well ...... I was just trying to make point with over-exaggerations. They came out early this year to view the property in detail and establish plowing boundaries...

Do they make a plow-proof extension cord. Oh it gets better .... the branch in the walnut tree is flexing from stress! Yep perfect, better go buy 100 dollars more green cord to power the light and that way next winter I can power my neighbors shack!

I see this is starting to get confusing, as usual .... must be the way I write. Can you imagine my drawing a picture? Planning on executing a complete shop power gig this summer as discussed in previous thread. This is the **** that happens when you buy a 125 year old farmette with driveways...

It was foolish of me to imply "low voltage"! Low consumption would have been a better term. This would be a 110v application. I use 250ft of extension cord to power the security light and maybe the occasional use of a tiny air compressor. Code violation, sure but really, I unplug the cord during...

Let's just call it a temporary underground remedy. I'm frustrated with the plow guy plowing the driveway and the yard.

I realize this has been a lengthy post but curious to know - Can I assume the main breaker box located at the pole is the panel that would be bonded? ..... and not the box in the house or the one that will be installed in the shop outbuilding -

Thanks Innovate1. Love it when a good plan comes together!

....... I was thinking about one of the things our AHJ said to me on the phone. He mentioned that if we are going to use a 90 degree elbow fitting for the PVC portion of this job that we would need to use an expansion fitting. If we go straight up with no elbow, an expansion fitting would not be...

wylie and Bert_, thanks for the input regarding pulling a branch feeder to juice the shop. Duely noted. It sounds like a great idea if I start tripping the shop breaker! And if that does happen I'll be in a world of hurt'n based on what the AHJ told me on the phone. Thanks guys, your gold!

Knowing the box is Square D, is there a way to tell what type of 2-pole 90a breaker I need for this particular type of box from the pic?

Finally talked to an AHJ gentleman. No meter or pole required for this project. Strangely enough he suggested URD as opposed to MHF. He seemed un-assured about the MHF being direct burial. Also, he was very specific in stating that URD can be used within building structures as long as the...

I must have read this post from beginning to end 3 times. The direction of conversation definitely hit a fork in the road when I posted the pic of the breaker box mounted to the power pole. I should have gathered my information here at the property before joining and posting, it would have...

Looking up local codes for burial depth is a nightmare - ! So an inspector would not have a problem with circuit breakers totaling 220 amps with a 200amp main on the box? Measured distance from the power pole to the outbuilding and its right at 145', plus from below ground up to the boxes on...

If I gotta go from that existing box on the pole to shop, I suppose I'm good with that given all known circumstances. I am however somewhat disappointed in the overall layout and cobbled mess of the electrical state of the property, as most of these old farmhouses are. I must also say that the...

Roger that sparky. Thanks for the info. Good thing about being late to the party is we'll always find room for ya at the bar! I believe I will keep the install as simple as possible, so will go with 4 conductor MHF ! Unbelievable how impressive the amount of info I have discovered since...
