(1) It's not up there like an antenna encase you happen to be prone to lightning.
(2) It looks better than a lot of overhead wires running all over the place.
Also if you happen to have moles or gophers, conduit is a must. I'm with "Electric Ed" on this one, I really like the polyethylene water pipe. I just use a vacuum cleaner to pull a small piece of plastic through it which is tied to a fishing line. After I get that threaded through it, then I use the fishing line to pull small twine or rope and use the twine or rope to pull my wires through. You can replace or add wires even if the ground is frozen.

By golly, I like that vacuum cleaner idea I will be using that one.
Thanks.

You can also blow a rat in the pipe . Greenlee makes a vacuum especially for that chore . they sell foam rats to blow or suck in . A regular task in site work. the pulls are 1000s of feet in 100 to 150' sub pulls . Jet line in behind the rat . It's good to put some pressure on one end and vacuumed on the other to get the water out. make sure you use pvc or ridged pipe with the coupling air tight . a good way to make a rat is to take urethane foam and make small ball with a tail and wrap it with plastic and tie on well and tape it so ti won't snag[ Parent ]
