The ESB (Electricity Supply Board) came yesterday and put up a pole on the site that will provide the mains supply .
I now have to organise the digging of a trench to the house from this pole - and lay some plastic pipe in it with a length of rope in it that will be used to pull the mains cable through to the meter box.
Had a bit of fun this morning trying to get 15m of thin rope into the pipe - which is fairly rigid. I eventually managed it by tying some lead on to the end of the rope (left over from the roofing) - and then shaking it through the pipe.
The plasterer and his labourer are there again today and making steady progress.
A lovely sunny day here in the West of Ireland.
Sorry about the lack of pictures - I will remedy that soon.
