Jeff at Centerline Construction trenched across the road, from the transformer to the corner of our parcel. They laid down 3 conduits (2 power, 1 telephone), and filled with sand. Apparently there's so much clay that to return the excavated dirt would leave a soft spot. They covered with 3"-minus (a mix of crushed rock that fits through a 3" screen) for a firm, drivable surface.
Here's a broad view from the road, including a steady hail:
The drivable road is about 30' from the edge of the property. After laying the conduit in the trench, they covered with a bit of dirt but didn't fill the trench. Later we'll put a water pipe through here, and then fill the rest of the way.
The trench starts at this transformer. You can see my neighbor's remote meter on the right. We'll have a similar meter, but no transformer.
As the trench passes by the telephone box, it picks up a telephone conduit:
Here's the end of the trench, with the conduit visible. The orange tape marks the dividing line between two parcels. We're developing the one on the right, but the extra 3" conduit is for the one on the left.
Say good-bye to the heavy equipment!
