    So nice to see a plain old conduit and culvert job. I must admit I do revisit a few of the old ones. Thanks for this.

    That’s actually amazing that the water built up through the box and flowed all the way down the conduit and pole. I love these videos of smaller jobs too
  • I have been doing electrical for over 30 years and that ice sculpture on the conduit is a new one for me. Albeit all of my work has been on the flat plains of midwest. Great video.

    I wanted to let you know things I absolutely LOVE about your channel. No stupid music, no loud stupid intro graphics, no shilling for VPN or gaming companies I will NEVER touch, and no shilling for hello fresh. everything is just simple.

    This has that classic AC feel. Not that there is anything wrong with the new videos, I enjoy them just as much or more. But this small job does feel like a nice throw back.

    Thanks for the upload Andrew, I enjoy these type of videos diverting water, culverts, etc.

    Great video, I miss this types of videos where us that don't have some of the big equipment you have, can watch and learn something or do the same type of jobs ourselves 😉
  • Love Andrews attitude to work, "Right, that's finished, let's go onto the next job!". Love it!! 😂👍👍👏👏
  • Duct seal will seal the conduit around the wire to prevent water ingress. Duct seal should also be used at the top of the riser pipe on the pole; it is actually required per NYSEG standard installation manual. Been an electrician in NY for decades and while a water tight installation is not always feasible in every condition it should always be the goal. Water can cause issues down the road, despite the wire itself being resistive to water and chemical ingress, water freeze and thaw, especially in NY can lead to wire/insulation damage and even breakage.

    There's always something so satisfying about trenching videos.
  • Another job well done!!! The Culvert and Road/ Driveway jobs are some of my favorite, good stuff.

    Andrew is the neighbor we all wish we had!! Crazy smart, very generous and always able to make it happen!! Glad you have the following you do... well deserved my friend!!

    Great job! I appreciate the extra care not to only tidy up but also to replace a strategis and aestetic rock!

    Hey Andrew, in my experience with stopping water from getting into conduits with cable. We stuff a light weight rag around the cable and mix some hydraulic cement and cap the duct. That's the method for manholes that fill with water and it stops leaking into building basements and conduit across bridges. Seem like that would apply to your situation as well. Thanks again for another entertaining video.
  • @NoBSFilms
    These types of videos are always oddly satisfying to watch! Love to see some of the more straightforward work!!
  • Great video Andrew always a pleasure to see them ,thanks for sharing.
