Tip: bury your power deep enough!

[madosta]

House was built in 2010, garage 1950 probably. Electrician ran 1" conduit from the house to the garage.

Started excavating to pour a slab and sidewalk/apron and guess what!? The damn conduit is buried 4" below grade. So today's project consisted of me lowering the conduit, which is fun because it's already glue together and has wires in it.

I used my ******** to cut the coupling and carefully pull it apart. I had to replace the outside LB because I cracked it with the loader bucket.

Glued it all back together and of course most of the wires are too short.

Now I'm planning on removing the inside LB and going into the back of a 6x6" pvc and making some splices there with some splice kits.

Ugh. So stupid!
