Sheeeeeet....

This one time, someone who almost had the power to fire me, spec'd a 1" PVC conduit between a house and new cabana. When we showed up to do the job, he gave us a list of the wiring we needed to pull through this 1" conduit. The run was about 50' with only a long sweeping bend of about 45 degrees in all.

Several hours later, 5 guys, a bottle of lube, a steel fish tape, a roll of electrical tape, lots of swearing, a break in the middle for gatorade (it was around 100 degrees out), and the kitchen sink, and we got 'r done.

2 x 16/4, 2 x RG6, 6 x 22/4 for security, 4-6 CAT5e, 1 x Cresnet....maybe one or 2 other odd cables I am not remembering. All I know is when I made the bundle, and slipped it into a piece of 1" conduit we had laying around, it just fit. Room for the lube is about all the extra space there was.

Surprisingly enough, I did not get fired that day. I said some bad words to my PM who was there to help. :)
