Thank You for your help and support.
Electrical Inspectors like wiring neatly done and easy to see.
And this to me is very neatly done good job Kevin yall sure working toward a better tomorrow for you.
It passed the inspection thanks Jim.
And most people think that if you want electricity, you just flip a switch. Thanks for sharing the process. The Rooster is really shaping up. Be well my friends.
I wish it was that easy thanks Hatch.
Excellent video! Very helpful and I like how thorough you were in the main service box!
Thanks Sarah glad i could help
Your life is about to get WAY easier. Excellent job on that 200 amp service.
Thank you Daryl.
I’m sure that was a hard job! Thank you for sharing!
For sure just slow at it thanks Paul.
Looking more and more like home!!
One day I hope thanks William.
Really nice work thanks for sharing!!
Thank you Jerry.
You lucked out having that pole on site that you can use. Up here they won't bring in the wire without a green, pressure treated pole hydro supplies and installs. We haven't used creosote for the last 10 years or so' Most now are doing underground as it works out to be just about the same cost. Hmm, No washer on the bolt head ? There is no part of this doesn't make my back hurt. One thing about being one legged all I can do now is give directions, LOL. This is certainly not your first dance doing this my friend. A nicely done, good lookin job my friend. Having power on site now is a big deal for sure.
Dean, yes it is a lot of work but it is done and already passed inspection so just waiting for the power co to hook us up.
@@Robinson-Homestead And the year is young my friend. Lots to do now.
Clever stuff kevin tidy wire work too
Thank you Edward.
It looks like you just lined the hole for the pole with the dirt that you had originally dug out of it, and tamped it down; is that correct? Did you put anything at the bottom of the hole before putting the pole in?
I just used the dirt I took out that's how it works.
Nothing in the bottom.
It is 6 feet deep and hard ground.
Thank you!
Youe welcome
We usually install all the service equipment except the meter/disconnect on the pole and after the pole is set there is no climbing needed.
Good idea thanks for the comment.
Maybe not a big deal and I bet it varies for each utility/power company. But your insulator mounting to me seems kinda backwards. Bolt through the bracket/wire side and the washer/nut on the back side. Not trying to be a troublesome comment just hoping that it could help you in the future. Way easier to tighten down when the nut isn’t obstructed.
Thanks for the input just did another one and it passed the inspection to different inspector though ua-cam.com/video/hpMoSRL2qG4/v-deo.html
That's the way I prefer I remove the porcelain piece and use an impact and a wrench to tighten it down.
What size wire did you use? #2 for the load?
Bad ass last name
That's right thanks Robinson my friend.
Where did you get the box for the meter?
Cardello Electric thanks for the comment.
How would I add 100 amp service to my garage? The wiring is in place for the house. I have not run wire yet for the garage. Not sure where to install it.
Oh man i am sorry but i couldn't help you without seeing what kind of setup you have.
Why didn't you use the tractor's bucket to drive the ground rods?
I guess i just didn't think about it until i was already finished lol.
Well If I was you ,I would have coated the telephone pole with tar coated two times on the base of the pol, rain and moisture especially if is ponderosa pine they be gone in 8 to 9 years you would have to change the whole thing , bringing power underground is better for me ,
We did underground wire from the house to the outside box.
Suprised you didn't straighten it first
Thanks for watching
