Electrical Installation Prep and Brush Clearing

Morning:

This morning, Garret DelaBarre, our builder, emailed us that Dan Morrison's company, Morrison Excavating, would be up on the property moving the rocks from the edge of the driveway and digging a trench for the laying of Clallam County Public Utility Department (PUD) electrical cable, junction box, and transformer box.

When we got there, Garret and Martin, Dan's right hand man, were removing the final fence posts and then Martin began clearing the rocks (small basalt and granite boulders) from the west edge of the 400 foot driveway. He was using their large excavator to do an impressive job. Garret was sampling the blackberries and meeting with us to discuss progress:

Afternoon:

During most of the day when he wasn't moving rocks, Martin was clearing brush at various locations on the property. Dan Morrison's equipment is top notch! It can rip up good sized trees and can push over the bigger ones if needed.

Evening:

Just before the end of the work day, Martin dug the main electrical trench from the bottom of the driveway to a few feet from the top. Tomorrow, Dan will dig out a place around the old junction box and make room for a new, bigger one.
