Went over to local farmer doing the $24,000 system today to help him reroute a conduit out into his yard. He ran power "almost" to his shipping container and we needed to jog the conduit to one end of the container and extend it a bit. At the house end, we installed an additional panel box next to his primary and needed to move that same conduit over to the new box. So the whole time I'm carping about how you need to glue all the joins in the conduit under ground so it doesn't fill up with water.... and the far end that stubbed up near his shipping container had the last elbow broken so the conduit was full of water. If you can't lick 'em , join them.... So I drilled a weep hole in the bottom of the conduit and we will fill gravel around it. I don't know how to get all the water out except to tie a rag to the pull string and use it like wadding.
