To get temporary electrical at the property, the Skamania PUD requires underground installed at 3 feet depth. They also require a foot width which meant I had to excavate rather than run a trencher. This would be a new challenging experience for me.
The only way to get to the electrical pole was excavate between the gas and communication line. Yikes! I was able to do it without any tragedies though I did nearly topple the excavator a few heart stopping times as well as exposed the gas line.

| I started with the easy part where I had lots of space. |
 |
| I had to build "lifts" for the mini excavator to reach across the culvert without tipping. |
 |
| On the left side of this trench was a gas line, on the right was telecommunications |
 |
| Success! PUD installed the temporary electrical without and complaints of my crooked excavation skills. |
