Conduit is certainly cheap. But I wonder, how does buried UF       get damaged that wouldn't damage plastic conduit? I suppose two or even       three conduits would give you room to expand or replace.               For most labor intensive projects these days I rely on little Spanish       speaking guys!               Jeff       >       > Vaughn              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
