The photo shows what most of you will recognise as a piece of Conduit with a length of cable coming out of it.
Thirty odd years ago, I was laying a concrete slab and thought it would be a good idea to install a conduit under it to the wall, some 25ft long with a few 90" bends, because I thought that my dear wife would probably suggest and ask for Christmas lights to be displayed on the wall and shrubs by it, and a permanent waterproof supply would be a good idea.
Well, in the true spirit of ‘You cannot rush these things, they need to be considered’ I have been installing Christmas lights for most of that time powered by a rather precarious extension lead, which needed even more precarious installation each year, I have finally got round to installing the Cable for the original intention last Saturday, with the aid of a draw cord installed with the help of a Vacuum cleaner, and Carol pulling heartedly while I threaded it through.
When the cable was through, she casually asked when I had put the Conduit in, and said about 33 years ago as I was forward planning.
I can assure you the rest of the day was not ”Casual” I don’t think my planning skills are appreciated!!!!
Why struggle when you can have it hard!!!
