Keystone State Thread

Good morning all.

 

Good morning Pennsylvania and surrounding areas

 

I'm sick and it sucks. I slept like 14hrs yesterday and still went to bed at 10pm and woke up at 7am

 

Careful out there today. With all the snow yesterday and freezing temps the roads are...

 

Had the leaf sideways this morning on the city side of the Gleenwood Bridge! That was a a$$ puckering experience.

 

Real dangerous in my area too. Be careful.

 

Hi all
Spring mills got no snow last night .
Going to be adding some pipe insulation to the basement after DIN DIN FUN TIMES AWAIT ME

 

Good morning PA.

 

Morning Pennsylvania

 

Good morning Pennsylvania and surrounding areas

 

I’m helping a friend digging a 50’x20”d trench to run electric to his shed. The electrician ran the conduit without the cable for some asinine reason. He wants me to fill the trench, he will then fish the cable through. Why not install the conduit/cable simultaneously!?!
Make it make sense….

 

Lost a good one today. RIP Bob.

It's quicker to pull cable/wires after all the conduit is in. Can u imagine trying to push cable/wires through every 10 feet in a ditch....
While the ditch is open , nows the time to put anything else u would want at the shed, water line, air line , cable TV......

 

any time I’ve run conduit I’ve always ran it with nothing inside and then pulling a string through afterwards as a chaser. Never made sense to pull any wire 10-15 ft at a time to me. I used a vacuum and a string and I can run THHN after in about 10 mins.

 

He didn’t even run a ‘fish line’ with the conduit. At least do that! He’s going to have an issue pushing that cable when it’s 20*, let alone at 80*

 

RIP

 

So what, put 10’ of pipe in then drop everything, push 10’ of wire in drop everything, rinse and repeat 5 times?

 

He glued the conduit. The electrician also said the wire can’t be installed prior to filling the ditch due to ‘code’. This is in Upper Chichester
