I guess I don't quite understand the jargon, Ted. Are you shaving up and down, or parallel to the surface, top to bottom?
I went ahead, taking small cuts, working from top to bottom, figuring I'd be able to feel the resistance of a PVC conduit. Never felt one, never hit one, and now I'm four feet down following that dang electrical conduit. It's gotta turn upward sooner or later, so I just gotta decide whether to shave down or shave back...:confused3:
Worse comes to worst, the Honda generator still works fine, and I can do without grid power for quite a while with all the E0 I've got stashed. But careful digging seems the best course of action with all else that we're all dealing with, a bit of a treasure hunt, eh?
