It’s been a busy summer in our backyard. In addition to all the school construction, we’ve been actively improving our property too. Our most recent project has been relocating our utility service lines underground. Three wires hung diagonally across our backyard from the utility pole to our house. Daddy Dave removed a section of the sidewalk and dug a trench two feet deep from the house back along the garage, then across the yard to the utility pole. An electrician buried the power, cable TV and telephone wires in the trench. Here the boys and I are watching the workman up on the pole connecting our new power line. The old overhead wire connector is lying on the ground. We also ran new underground power to the detached garage. Not only are buried lines safer and more attractive, but tree limbs and kick-balls won’t be knocking out our power anymore.
