Morning all,
Time to tackle a project I've been putting off for too long. I need to run new wire from the house to an existing lamp post. Although I haven't dug deep enough yet to prove it, I suspect that the wire is run through plastic PVC up through the concrete foundation the post is set in. Also assuming there's a 90* PVC elbow at the base of the concrete foundation. I am wondering how to run the new wire up through that post without disturbing that foundation.
I have 2 options in mind at this point:
- Assuming the wire is free enough in the post and PVC conduit, use the old wire to fish the new wire through the PVC and up the post. Concern is that I wont be able to pull the wire through the elbow in the PVC. and more specifically pulling the wire where the old and new wires will be doubled-up and taped through that elbow.
- Drill hole in lamp post above the concrete foundation, put a grommet in the pole and run wire in that way
If any one has any advice and experience in this area, I would sure appreciate hearing from you!
Thanks, Brian
