Thanks for the warm replies. Since last October, I have basically been on my own in terms of working with a family contractor. Just phone calls to my father in law.
It took a lot of research, but I figured out how to run the electric by talking to various people, most important the electrical inspector for the area.
I originally picked up on craigslist some 2/0 cable good for 150 amp, but it was going to be a bear to pull and was only 3 strand. I picked up some 4 strand mobile home wire like others do on here, 2 gauge for 100 amp. It can be run inside a building if in conduit.
I rented a demo drill to blast through the house foundation for the utilities.
The 4" black is for the water pipe, the 2 1/5" top one is electric and the 1 1/4" is communications or whatever.
All the pipes laid in the ground. It is a pain in the *** to be in a 12" wide trench gluing pipe. Afterwards I was told you can glue them above the trench and lower them down. Tough to do by ones self though.
Then I learned you tie a plastic bag to a string and put a shop vac on the other end. It FLIES through the pipe taking the string with it. Then I tied a rope to the string and later wire to the rope.
My friend helping me pull the cable. He really enjoyed putting the lube on the cable.
Then I put 20lbs of hydrolic cement in the hole on both sides to seal it all up. I will coat it with my left over tar if it is still good before I back fill it.
So a long weekend, some help and $1,000 later I have the wire run! There are cheaper ways to do it, direct bury, but I wanted water in there too.
