Electrical Work Started

The work to install an electrical power line to the GOCO Beast Barn today.

I was expecting them during the late morning/early afternoon hours. I was watching for them to arrive but saw nothing. Then, after a while, I heard a motor going but couldn't tell where it was coming from. Then I stepped outside and saw the workers (3 of them) beginning to make a long trench.

I went over there in the Jeep as it was still wet, snowy and muddy in spots.

It seemed to take about a couple of hours for the trencher machine to cut the 120 foot trench. Some parts of the ground may still have been frozen.

After they cut the trench, they left for an hour or so to return the trencher and to get more conduit pipe.

When they got back, they buried the conduit piping and filled the trench after doing so.

The sun was getting very low and they were done for the day. They will either return to finish up in the late afternoon tomorrow or on Monday.
