This is one tough job. He's knocked out an impressive amount of it already. |

Electric trench
Very conveniently this goes directly from the house to just above the barn. I like it. |

Telephone line access point
This is the telephone line access next to the barn, at the bottom of the hill. I don't know why I thought a zoomed in picture was important. |
Transformer
For some reason they placed it astride the property line...within the easement, at least. |

Trench across pasture
This is our neighbor's property, actually. They're very kindly going to let us use it for horses. |
Power meter -- 0 KWH
Never seen a power meter reading zero before! |

It's been an amazing month. We've been out there every weekend, most times taking pictures, but neither Pam nor I have had a breath all month to upload, so here it is for you, all at once. It's been a great month.
