I just spent the day working on an Eagle project. A previous Eagle built a garage for the church that sponsors our unit, about 100 feet away from the church building. This Scout has arranged to run electric from the church into the garage. Today’s work:
We rented a sod cutter,
cut the sod and rolled it up
Rented a trencher
Dug a 6” wide trench about 120 feet long
Connected up 120 feet of Schedule 40 PVC conduit
Pulled 4 wires through it
Drilled a hole through the church’s exterior wall
Ran conduit up to it
Ran conduit back through the church to the boiler room
Hooked up a fused switch box
Connected the outdoor conduit to the conduit that had been preinstalled though the garage’s concrete slab floor
Hooked up a breaker box in the garage
Connected up the wiring at both ends.
Filled in the trench, replaced the sod and watered it throughly.
Now we have live electric in the garage; next weekend we’ll put some wiring and conduit up and put in lights, outlets and switches, including a flood light on the garage to light up the end of our church parking lot (where I’ve found the occasional used condom - it’s set well back off of the road).
