Look, we all know the jokes about electricians having soft hands. And yes, Jon’s hands could probably model for hand cream. But here’s where stereotypes end and Territory wisdom begins.
Today’s Educational Moment
Jon discovered this beauty in the wild: pristine conduit running down both sides of a post, looking quite professional… until it hits the ground. Then? An exciting underground adventure for our cable, completely au naturel. Before popping up in more conduit on the other side.
It’s like wearing a dinner jacket with boardies – there’s definitely effort involved, just slightly misdirected.
The Great Ant Buffet
Here’s something fascinating about Territory life: our ants have quite the appetite for electrical insulation. They’re drawn to electrical fields like tourists to mindil markets. Once they start their feast, it’s party time until the power’s out.
Why We Love Trenching (Really!)
Yes, Jon might have the smoothest hands in Darwin. Yes, he might prefer air conditioning to shovels. But here’s what experience teaches:
Proper trenching = Happy customers
Proper use of conduit = Unhappy ants
Because in the Territory, protecting cables underground isn’t just best practice – it’s survival. Our six-legged electrical enthusiasts will find any exposed cable faster than you can say “warranty claim.”
The Dunwrights Method
Every installation gets the full treatment:
- Proper trenching (every single time)
- Protected cables (ants need not apply)
- Peace of mind (worth more than saved time)
Want gates that keep working through ant season? Book with people who dig deep – literally.
PS We’d never sing our own praises but something just made us capture this discovery in song.
