In case you were wondering, this is not a good thing. We were digging pile holes and hit the main electrical line into our house. Here’s a good look at #2 cable. Two foot section ripped out of the ground. I’ve always wanted a remote cabin that relied on solar power. I might get my wish after all. Yup, should have listened to Milly and not gone so deep. Looks like I just might get to dig the piles by hand. If I didn’t get to do the basement by hand at least I can feel happy that I’ll get to do a few holes.

I can't believe that it isn't in some sort of conduit or casing…just a wire in the ground. Hope it wasn't too much of a 'shock'!
That is encased wire that is made to go underground so we don't have to have wire go overhead from a telephone pole.
