Underground electrical work complete

As the houses progress through the drywall stage it becomes increasingly difficult to supply electrical power from the temporary pole near the alley. 

In order to access electricity from within the mechanical room in each basement we must have installed electrical panels and three above ground electrical meters installed at the garage. Power is then fed via under ground conduits to the panels. This means the garage must be framed and all the work done inside and out to pass the inspection. This is a multi step process and often subject to delays. 

Fortunately our electrical team has been very cooperative and the concrete contractor put the garage pad in quickly enough that the framers could get the garage walls and roof on (this allows the overhead service to be run from the alley to the garage) and into each basement. 

This is the finished install ready for power and communications lines. 

This awkward trench is where we unearthed the conduit we had buried back in the spring. 

Once inspection passes we will be in a good position to carry out the interior finishing.
