Re[2]: New home builders without wires

["Aaron Wendel" <aaron () wholesaleinternet net>]

When I built my house a few years ago I put a 0 entry hand hole with 2" 
conduit in the ROW in front and pulled 96 SM into the basement.  It 
takes a little convincing to get the providers to connect out there 
instead of running their own lines into my house but so far so good.
