Today was one of those rare days that I actually did some work on the house. Not a lot - but I have a few blisters on my hands to show for it. We had to put in a plastic pipe underground which will carry the electricity supply from the pole to the house. A JCB did most of the work - I was just helping with the fiddly bits. While we were at it it seemed a good idea to do the same for the telephone cable - even though there is no pole yet. That meant a last minute dash to the builders supplier to get 15m of piping and some rope. While the JCB driver was waiting he had plenty of work to keep him busy - shifting soil (rocks mostly) from the boundary with the neighboring field - in preparation for a fence.
We finally got it all sorted by about 3pm (9am start) . Now I've got to get onto Eircom about connecting a phone.
