In the spirit of Marcel’s post’s I thought I would post a series of picture’s of the house I’m building. It’s a 28X34 ranch with a 24X24 detached garaged. It took my client 6 months to get a rear lot subdivision and we’ve been slowed a bit by rain but it’s finally under way.
As a contractor I’m very interested in performance so this house will be built with R-19 wall with R-5 insulated vinyl siding, triple pane windows and blown in insulation. I will be conducting blower door tests pre and post drywall. Hope it’s interesting.
I did a job in Effingham along the Ossipee River years ago where we had 3/4 mile linear distance of underground to do with three runs, telco, cable and PSNH. I don’t recall how many vaults PSNH needed for us to install but I’m thinking it was 7. We used custom ordered 4"x 42’ conduit which saved time. One area was through a swamp outlet which was a nightmare. Everything was pulled without a single problem.
It’s going to be a walk out with a 6 ft sliding glass door. My client made a request at the last minute, like that never happens!!!, to finish the basement. My thought was to stick frame the rest of the wall then I could locate and egress window somewhere along that wall for a bedroom. I’m also going to rough in a pit in the slab for a 3/4 bath in the finished basement. Hope the building inspector doesn’t mind, LOL. I actually gave him the heads up on the finished basement and he’s OK with it as long as I give him a plan and amend the permit.
No, the run for the underground utilities is 800ft so a vault is being buried at app. 600ft the we will use schedule 80 pipe and go under the driveway to make the connection to the house, then underground again for he garage.
Awh! OK, now it makes sense. That is what I thought that it looked more of an electrical vault. The septic inspection threw me off.
Still a long run of 600 ft…
Hope they oversized the conduit.
What size conductor are they using to feed the 200 amp panel at that distance? or just a 100 amp? Quite a voltage drop.
I’m not sure Marcel, we supply the schedule 40 & 80 the pull rope, red flag, phone and cable. The electric coop is supplying the conductor. I’ll find out, they may be out tomorrow for a trench inspection. OH, and we have to supply the ground. Gotta love non profit electrical coop’s
