Default buried conduit for electrical work, some questions.

Hell...bring up both pieces of conduit..make the splice, seal well
with RTV and GOOD tape, and slide a 3' section of gray PVC pipe and a
end cap over both conduits. Easy to get on, easy to get off and scraps
are easy to find. Hit it with Krylon paint for plastic in ones choice
of colors and voila! $20 at most for a life time of security.

snort Um, a coupla 6" pipes filled with concrete (bollards) -right-
next to it on the driveway side are necessary if you truly want that
"life time of security" for it. Otherwise, the bright paint draws
drunks.


I was under the impression that they were going to "come up" in the
yard..not the driveway.


I'd think there would be a driveway between the garage and shop, and
that people have no qualms about backing off driveways onto grass.
shrug But, since neither of us has seen Pete's yard...


The "driveway" - such as it is - in on the front of the house.

I wise I could draw pickytures - but - okay this is close enough"

The shed I got built is the [__] on the left side and was build
over what had been the graveled parking area, The shed being rebuilt
is [_] - and as far as I know - was never parking 'cept maybe back in
the last century..
Somewhere near where the second I in the sentence "I wish I
could..." is the origin of the power conduit which goes to the shed on
the right. I'll be moving that trench - not as much as I though, and
then running something from that shed over to the west shed - its
about 17 feet gap.
I'm buying the 100' roll of flex conduit, and any left over goes
to A Good Home.
