Well, I finally finished my electrical sub-panel project this morning. The trench had been dug for over a week, but I've been too tired (or lazy) to run the conduit and wiring. But then I caught this morning's weather forecast which calls for a chance of rain the next 3 days. So unless I wanted to re-dig a trench next week, today was the day to wrap this up. I ran 40 feet of conduit and 50 feet of 10-3 wiring, and was basically finished by lunch time. Overall, I think it looks pretty good, Nothing fancy, but it was clean and it saved me about $1000 over hiring someone else to do it - money I'll probably need for some other house projects that I can't do by myself. Thanks goes to Eric for standing guard while I made the final electrical hook-up. I'm sure he had 9-1 already punched on his mobile phone.
I still need to wire the inside of my shed, but that's pretty simple and is a project for another weekend. Looking forward to having A/C and lighting out there, so I can work in comfort - well, as comfortable as you can be working outside in Austin during the summer.
And yes, when I went to fill in the trench, there wasn't enough dirt. It's a common complaint. Just where does it all go?

Congrats very impressive! I agree on the dirt; it's like the pair of socks that goes into the dryer.
