Title: Big Dig
Post by: coolidge on June 08, 2014, 05:47:59 PM

We start the dig in the morning to install the OWB lines across the road. I will be running the Logstor through an 8" culvert along with some upgrade electrical for gen backup when we loose power. Figured I would use the P m 250 to heat both the house and shop.

I did the same thing for my Logstor.  Used an 8" single wall culvert so I could turn up under the boiler and at the house.  I haven't put the Logstor in yet but I think it should pull thru pretty good if it warms up in the sun first.  I like the ability to pull something else thru if any kind of replacement is necessary(most likely never) without having to dig.

Worked out very good, the heights difference of the house made it so we could go right under the footer of the old rock foundation. Ran a backup gen wire while it was dug up. Only encounter was the wire for the light from house to garage, need to replace that ASAP

Update,   Ran three extension cords for power to the boiler site. Ha. Ha.  Ran a 12/3 and 14/3 wire to the boiler site for the two pumps and blower. I think I might have more cash in all the wiring and conduit then the digging. Of course the Logstor will be the biggest part of the piggy bank.
