Gone Fishing

Fishing the wire through the conduit was not an easy task. Royce ran an electrical fish tape through the conduit. Fastened the wire to it and pulled it through the conduit. We set up roll of the wire on a spool made from a short wooden pole across two saw horses. I used a wash cloth with some kind of greasy stuff on it to coat the wire.

Royce wound the electrical fishing tape, pulling the wire through from one end of the conduit and I pushed it through at the other.

It was a lot easier said than done. The electrical fishing tape kept getting stuck inside the conduit at the sharp turns. It took a while just to get the fishing tape through the conduit, attach the electrical wire, and then to it to pull it back through the the conduit.


Two wires through and only four more to go.
