A trench was dug from the far corner of the garage, across the side yard and up to the side of the woodshed (the bit of roof in the upper left hand corner of the photo). The trench was lined with sand and the lines for the propane tanks were laid in and covered over.
A trench for the power and phone lines was dug from the road, down across the driveway and up to the corner of the woodshed. Conduits were laid down and covered in.

Green Mountain Power came and installed a new pole up by the road. That seemed counterintuitive to me...a taller pole for an underground line?

Matt our electrician upgraded EVERYTHING to code and then some. Peace of mind on that front.
This is all the very dull stuff. It's money sunk into the ground, but now we are up to speed with our utilities.
This was one of the first jobs we tackled here in Wisconsin. Our farmhouse was circa 1900 and the wiring was patchy and uncertain. Expensive? yes. Time consuming? yes. Reliable now? You bet. (I can't say enough good things about our utility co-ops.) Congratulations on the upgrades and the peace of mind they bring.
