  Put ribbon in trench, then take it out again so you can backfill it correctly. Gotta love those Jobsworth Inspectors...

  thanks Dan for going to this great trouble to show or rather share your knowledge on this particular aspect of building a house.  Even though I live in Australia the basics are the same. Very valuable info for when I do this myself soon.  Thanks again for you dedication to share your knowledge.

  Glad to see you did the service conductor installation in the proper order. First you run the conduit, then you install the pull wire by either blowing or vacuuming in and then you pull in the conductors. Another very good u tuber showed an improper installation of laying the conductors in the trench and then sliding the conduit over then wires. I wish  somebody showed him the correct method.  Good job here.

  Thanks for taking the time for all the explanations, nice video. The only thing I would have suggested to make this job easier, would have been to use a roto-hammer  w/attachment for grounding rods. Makes it soo easy.

  For real. I have realized before I do any work I contact the local government to find out the rules and who does what. Nice work.

  My first video on this subject and the first one to come up on Youtube. As I'm watching,  I'm thinking "well, this will be a good intro but I will have to go to my county to get the details"  And guess what?  I live in Kitsap County Washington. Ka-ching.  Too make it even better, my daughter lives about a mile from this jobsite! Thanks for the good video, and LOL, I will be using a BX-25 as well!

  Remember pre-covid when you could actually purchase the parts you needed?  Good times...
