Power cable trenching

Here's a few pics of the 700 mm deep power cable trench. Dingo hire was $300 for the weekend. It ripped through the soil pretty easily, although is not very stable on a side slope. Where the trench could not be so deep, I capped it with 75 mm of concrete (as well as the orange warning tape, which was laid about 150 mm above the power cable conduit).

Really glad that I went for a 240 Vac supply rather than solar / battery.
