[QUOTE="Wolfie, post: 81112, member: 24643"] I hide mine under 2'-3' of snow. That way I don't have to worry about seeing the wires :) But, yea, I guess yall on the other side of the ball have different issues at Christmas :) Before I poured my driveway (bout 2 decades ago), I buried 2-1/2" PVC pipe under it, across it, along it, etc. I used sweep Ls so no hard corners. I also used 180 sweeps on top of the pieces as they came up out of the ground. Using a shopvac I sucked a pingpong ball which I had hot glued a piece of surveyor's twine to. I looped it at the other end and sucked it back through forming a 360 loop and knotted the ends together with some slack. I put a eye screw inside the 180 sweep at either end and looped the string through and pinched it shut. That way the string would never get accidentally dropped in. In the years since, I have used the string to pull in low voltage wiring for lights, cat5 for networking, and even small 1/4" tubing for drip watering of the O/L flower pots. by forming a loop you can pull stuff in from either end. I am thinking you could use a similar system in your yard but use floor boxes or something recessed below grass level at strategic points. Lawn sprinkler housings maybe? Then put disconnects there so you can quickly disconnect and move things for a grass mowing session and easily reconnect and drop them back in place. [/QUOTE]

The title of our introductory lighting manual contains a three digit number. What is that number? Clue: Display basics forum
