Now let's get to Trevor's February 2025 top videos!

In this video, Trevor shows the first part of this installation, which will involve removing a disconnect and replacing it with three new ones. First, this excavator will be used to help install these two 8-in.-wide metal poles.

You can also watch this video as a YouTube Short or TikTok.

In the next part of this installation video series, Trevor shows the high water table nearby the job site and explains how a motor sits on top of a floating pump to draw water out.

Check this Reel out on YouTube or TikTok if you prefer.

In Part 3 of this installation, Trevor explains how hard it was to drive this pole into the ground. The southeast corner was filled with granite rocks, making it quite the challenge!
