Made it about 250' today at 40" deep, which puts me almost half way with the first ditch.

I made it another 50' or so past the last photo, to where I need to cross the driveway.

The job looks so perfect and tidy. Very nice. How many hours did this take you?

I absolutely agree. Very well done! not sure if a trencher could have made it as nice/pretty.

Good work.
Just had service run for my new house. I wanted to do it myself, but the electric co-op would only deduct $2 a foot from their fee. After I figured in the cost of conduit, 4 ft 90's, pull string, fuel, the savings only worked out to about .75 a foot or $375 total.
I decided I was better off letting them handle it, due to weather and time constraints.
Their trencher got stuck about 3 times.
How much are you saving?

The electric company never gave me the option for them to dig it.
The eletric company will run 400' free, then 5' per foot afterward.
I dig the ditch, supply and install conduit.
Total feet was around 550.

Cliff,
I'm not sure how long (can't remember what time I started, my memory bites), maybe 7 or 8 hours or so.
