and check that roll of wire before you install it
I'm having "one of those jobs". We are currently doing the scaping on a commercial site. Nothing special, water supply is poor so we have gone with 10 stations. Now the supervisior and the GC both forgot I needed power near the supply main for my all weather controller. The outdoor controller was a request from the client so I put the power supply down in my contract and everybody forgot it.
Cut to the chase, the builder admitted they had screwed up and could I move the controller about 70 yards because this was easier and cheaper than running power under new roads and ashphalt, and our newly installed garden beds etc etc. I said OK bend over thats gunna cost ya
Anyway, I could use some 5 core wire I had running in a conduit under the road to pull through a length of 9 core and the re-wire come relocation would be pretty straight forward...save for excavating the ends of the conduit...a bit challenging to say the least. I dug the holes (that we had just backfilled, topsoiled, mulched and planted over) exposed the conduit and pulled through the "9 core". Backfilled again, put back some topsoil, mulch, poly drippers, plants...all over again.
Then...I sat down to wire up the 7 solenoids to the "9 core"...except when I went to my supplier had thrown me a roll of 7 core
So always check your wire before you bury a conduit thats 6 foot down
I'm about to learn about single wire "splitters"??
