Erecting the First Pole

,

Things dried out enough to continue work today. After some initial filling of the holes, we ran wire and conduit from the poles to the hay barn. Below is a view of where the metal pole will fit into the plastic pipe sleeve.

Here’s the process of getting the first pole into place. Once the pole was in position, that was enough for the day. Tomorrow, we’ll get the first pole plumb and mortar it in. If we have time, we’ll install the second pole, too.
