Never even thought of that ..... hmmm
Thnk it would be cost $$ prohibitive though but no real idea.

Right now looking at <$2k to do myself ....... versus the $8k quotes.
Figure its 5-6 days of work outside of the trenching.

Lucky for me just found out my sister is dating a brother of a commercial electrician - so now have access to some advise and maybe help there depending
